Step 1: Add these two lines

JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject json = (JSONObject) parser.parse(output);

Step 2: Add below dependency to pom.xml

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.googlecode.json-simple/json-simple -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
    <artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

I have used Jackson. Example here: https://www.mkyong.com/java/jackson-2-convert-java-object-to-from-json/

Create a POJO. I don't know what the type is but since it has name as field name I will call it User .

public class User {
    private int no;
    private String name;
    private int code;

    //getters setters
}

Then something like this:

 User user = mapper.readValue(output, User.class);
