If you need to parse a JSON string, you do not need to use any JSONParser class. The JSONObject itself can be used for parsing JSON.

Pass the JSON string to a new JSON object as following:

JSONObject responseObject = new JSONObject(response); //response is the JSON string that you get as response
String name = responseObject.get("name");

Similarly you can get the values directly from the responseObject itself. No need to use any third party libraries. You can find a very good documentation here .

EDIT:

I prefer Android Asynchronous Http Client for making web requests.
