JSON to Java HashMap Object

Question

From an api call I am getting this type of data:

"value": {
      "technify_id": "1000051500309",
      "product": "{technify_id:'1000051500309',description:'Light weight 100% cotton fabric',id_uuid:'-100005-3008',image:'http://www.wearego.com/image/catalog/acc/lower/LK0060-BK0.jpg',is_configurable:0,manufacturer_id:'1000050',meta_data:{'Yousuf':'Iqbal','bilal':'ahmed'},seller:{id:'1000031127',name:'BNG Distributer'},manufacturer:{id:'100003521',name:'Ego'},meta_description:'',meta_keyword:'',meta_title:'Spring Collection 2016',model:'LK0060-BK0',name:'ELEPHANT PARADE',price:1200.0,product_attributes:[{attribute_id:'10000516',attribute_name:'1 x ELEPHANT PARADE',text:'1 x ELEPHANT PARADE'}],product_categories:['90'],product_url:'asdasd',quantity:10,requires_shipping:0,sku:'LK0060-BK0',sort_order:'1',status:1,store_date_added:'2016-11-24 23:03:57',store_date_available:'2016-03-22',store_date_modified:'2017-11-14 08:15:00',store_id:'100005',store_name:'WearEgo',store_product_id:'3008',tag:'',tax_id:'1000050',updated_at:'14/12/2007',variants:[{id:'1000051500309_5',technify_id:'1000051500309',price:1200.0,sku:'LK0060-BK0',height:'0.2',created_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',updated_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',quantity:22,weight:0.2,weight_unit:'kg',image:'http://prod.technifydev.com/vendor/ego/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (2).JPG',additional_images:[{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (3).JPG',id:'10000523651',variation_id:'1000051500309_5'},{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (1).JPG',id:'10000523652',variation_id:'1000051500309_5'}],product_specials:[],option_values:[{option_id:'1',option_name:'null',option_value_id:'5',option_value_name:NULL}],height_unit:NULL},{id:'1000051500309_4',technify_id:'1000051500309',price:1200.0,sku:'LK0060-BK0',height:'0.2',created_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',updated_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',quantity:22,weight:0.2,weight_unit:'kg',image:'http://prod.technifydev.com/vendor/ego/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (2).JPG',additional_images:[{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (3).JPG',id:'10000523651',variation_id:'1000051500309_4'},{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (1).JPG',id:'10000523652',variation_id:'1000051500309_4'}],product_specials:[],option_values:[{option_id:'1',option_name:'null',option_value_id:'4',option_value_name:'null'}],height_unit:NULL},{id:'1000051500309_3',technify_id:'1000051500309',price:22.0,sku:'LK0060-BK0',height:'0.2',created_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',updated_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',quantity:22,weight:0.2,weight_unit:'kg',image:'http://prod.technifydev.com/vendor/ego/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (2).JPG',additional_images:[{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (3).JPG',id:'10000523651',variation_id:'1000051500309_3'},{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (1).JPG',id:'10000523652',variation_id:'1000051500309_3'}],product_specials:[{date_start:'0000-00-00',price:605.79,product_special_id:'1000055564',date_end:'0000-00-00'}],option_values:[{option_id:'1',option_name:'null',option_value_id:'3',option_value_name:'null'}],height_unit:NULL},{id:'1000051500309_2',technify_id:'1000051500309',price:1200.0,sku:'LK0060-BK0',height:'0.2',created_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',updated_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',quantity:12,weight:0.2,weight_unit:'kg',image:'http://prod.technifydev.com/vendor/ego/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (2).JPG',additional_images:[{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (3).JPG',id:'10000523651',variation_id:'1000051500309_2'},{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (1).JPG',id:'10000523652',variation_id:'1000051500309_2'}],product_specials:[{date_start:'0000-00-00',price:605.79,product_special_id:'1000055564',date_end:'0000-00-00'}],option_values:[{option_id:'1',option_name:'null',option_value_id:'2',option_value_name:'null'}],height_unit:NULL},{id:'1000051500309_1',technify_id:'1000051500309',price:1200.0,sku:'LK0060-BK0',height:'0.2',created_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',updated_at:'2017-09-22 03:44:40',quantity:11,weight:0.2,weight_unit:'kg',image:'http://prod.technifydev.com/vendor/ego/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (2).JPG',additional_images:[{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (3).JPG',id:'10000523651',variation_id:'1000051500309_1'},{image:'http://www.companion.com.pk/image/catalog/festive/soulful-01 (1).JPG',id:'10000523652',variation_id:'1000051500309_1'}],product_specials:[{date_start:'0000-00-00',price:605.79,product_special_id:'1000055564',date_end:'0000-00-00'}],option_values:[{option_id:'1',option_name:'null',option_value_id:'1',option_value_name:'null'}],height_unit:NULL}],view_count:'1',weight:0.2}",
      "store_id": "100005",
      "updated_at": 1506033885000
    }

as it is clear that in product field data is of type string but we can also see that it is in json format but keys have no quotations and values are in single quote due to which I am not able to convert it from GSON. Is there any way to handle this scenario and extract proper JSON from this type of data?

Have you tried this?

    String rawdata=" {\n" +

            "      \"store_id\": \"100005\",\n" +
            "      \"updated_at\": 1506033880000\n" +
            "    }";

    HashMap<String,Object> stringObjectHashMap = new
            Gson().fromJson(rawdata,new TypeToken<HashMap<String,Object>>(){}.getType());


    //System.out.println(stringObjectHashMap);

    JSONObject jsonObject=new JSONObject(stringObjectHashMap.get("product").toString());
    System.out.println(jsonObject);

It is working for me.
