Get value from jsonelement's jsonarray with Java and Gson

Question

I have this code:

try {
    URL url = new URL("My api url");
    HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    connection.addRequestProperty("User-Agent", "MyUserAgent");

    InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);

    JsonElement element = new JsonParser().parse(reader);

    System.out.println(element);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

My api response:

[
  {
    "id": 12345,
    "name": "1.0"
  }
]

I need to get the name parameter as a string, but I don't know how to do it.

Answer 1

I think you are looking for :

JsonElement name = element.getAsJsonArray().get(0).getAsJsonObject().get("name");

Output

"1.0"

Or to get the value of name :

String name = element.getAsJsonArray().get(0).getAsJsonObject().get("name").getAsString();

Output

1.0
