android - 从json字符串中提取键值对的简单方法？

Question

Suppose I have a json string like this: { ... "key1":"value1"; ... } with a key1-value1 pair somewhere deep down the json structure (which includes other things such as array, dictionary, etc...). I don't know exactly (and don't care) how the exact structure of the json is. Is there a simple way to extract the "value1" ? (if there are 2 "key1" in the json string then I just need the first one).

As far as I know, you have no chance of doing it manually. If you really don't know what's the structure of the JSON string you're expecting, you can try a graph search approach, such as DFS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-first_search ).

For every key, check if it is an array. If so, go inside and repeat the procedure. If nothing was found in a given array, backtrack. Interrupt your process once you have found your key.
