Trying to extract data from JSON or JSONP using WOT api

Question

I was using WOT(web of trust) api.In this, i am getting response in this format,

process( { 
    "www.google.com": {
        "target": "google.com", 
        "0": [ 95, 84 ], 
        "1": [ 95, 84 ], 
        "2": [ 95, 84 ], 
        "4": [ 93, 78 ], 
        "categories": {
            "501": 92
        } 
    }
} )

I am very confused to extract the data string from this format of JSON. I searched a lot but could not find any way.

I want to extract from categories... means I want to save '502' value.

Problem : JSON Objects starts with "{" and ends with "}", the response you're getting is not a correct JSON Format.

Analysis : Why? you might ask, the response started with p char from process , and ends with ) char, instead of "}".

Solution : To fix the json, we will need to remove the process ( and ) string, so that the response can be parsed as JSON.

Hint : Use String.replace() method to replace the unwanted string with empty string "" , more information here and here

Hope this helps, and Good Luck! ^^
