将字符串转换为2D数组（Java）

Question

I am trying to convert string like this:

{"Shops":[
{"city":"Riga","shops":[{"a":"some info here","b":"...","c":"..."},{"a":"some info here","b":"...","c":"..."}]},{"city":"Liepaja","shops":[{"a":"info here","b":"info....","c":"..."}]
]}

to 2d array, like

shops[0][0]=>{"a":"some info here","b":"...","c":"..."}
shops[1][0]=>{"a":"info here","b":"info....","c":"..."}

Is it possible? Is there some easy way to do that?

I've searched, tried, but I still don't know how to do that. I'm new in java.

Answer 1

That looks like JSON data, and you should treat it as such.

Try a JSON parsing library for Java. I like GSON for its simplicity. Take a look at the Gson.fromJson() set of methods.

Answer 2

That is a JSON string. There are a number of libraries that will do this for you.

• JSON in Java
• GSON

Answer 3

The type of data you have posted is JSON encoded. you could use a json encoder and decoder to do this job easily.
