How to parse JSON Array (Not Json Object) in Android

public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException {
    String str = "[{\"name\":\"name1\",\"url\":\"url1\"},{\"name\":\"name2\",\"url\":\"url2\"}]";

    JSONArray jsonarray = new JSONArray(str);


    for(int i=0; i<jsonarray.length(); i++){
        JSONObject obj = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);

        String name = obj.getString("name");
        String url = obj.getString("url");

        System.out.println(name);
        System.out.println(url);
    }   
}   

Output:

name1
url1
name2
url2

I'll just give a little Jackson example:

First create a data holder which has the fields from JSON string

// imports
// ...
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class MyDataHolder {
    @JsonProperty("name")
    public String mName;

    @JsonProperty("url")
    public String mUrl;
}

And parse list of MyDataHolders

String jsonString = // your json
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
List<MyDataHolder> list = mapper.readValue(jsonString, 
    new TypeReference<ArrayList<MyDataHolder>>() {});

Using list items

String firstName = list.get(0).mName;
String secondName = list.get(1).mName;

Create a class to hold the objects.

public class Person{
   private String name;
   private String url;
   //Get & Set methods for each field
}

Then deserialize as follows:

Gson gson = new Gson();
Person[] person = gson.fromJson(input, Person[].class); //input is your String

Reference Article: http://blog.patrickbaumann.com/2011/11/gson-array-deserialization/

In this example there are several objects inside one json array. That is,

This is the json array: [{"name":"name1","url":"url1"},{"name":"name2","url":"url2"},...]

This is one object: {"name":"name1","url":"url1"}

Assuming that you have got the result to a String variable called jSonResultString:

JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(jSonResultString);

  //loop through each object
  for (int i=0; i<arr.length(); i++){

  JSONObject jsonProductObject = arr.getJSONObject(i);
  String name = jsonProductObject.getString("name");
  String url = jsonProductObject.getString("url");


}

@Stebra See this example. This may help you.

public class CustomerInfo 
{   
    @SerializedName("customerid")
    public String customerid;
    @SerializedName("picture")
    public String picture;

    @SerializedName("location")
    public String location;

    public CustomerInfo()
    {}
}

And when you get the result; parse like this

List<CustomerInfo> customers = null;
customers = (List<CustomerInfo>)gson.fromJson(result, new TypeToken<List<CustomerInfo>>() {}.getType());

A few great suggestions are already mentioned. Using GSON is really handy indeed, and to make life even easier you can try this website It's called jsonschema2pojo and does exactly that:

You give it your json and it generates a java object that can paste in your project. You can select GSON to annotate your variables, so extracting the object from your json gets even easier!

My case Load From Server Example..

int jsonLength = Integer.parseInt(jsonObject.getString("number_of_messages"));
            if (jsonLength != 1) {
                for (int i = 0; i < jsonLength; i++) {
                    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonObject.getString("messages"));
                    JSONObject resJson = (JSONObject) jsonArray.get(i);
                    //addItem(resJson.getString("message"), resJson.getString("name"), resJson.getString("created_at"));
                }

Hope it help

Old post I know, but unless I've misunderstood the question, this should do the trick:

s = '[{"name":"name1","url":"url1"},{"name":"name2","url":"url2"}]';
eval("array=" + s);
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
for (var index in array[i]) {
    alert(array[i][index]);
}

}

            URL url = new URL("your URL");
            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.connect();
            InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
            BufferedReader reader;
            reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
            StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
            String line = "";
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                buffer.append(line);
            }

            //setting the json string
            String finalJson = buffer.toString();

            //this is your string get the pattern from buffer.
            JSONArray jsonarray = new JSONArray(finalJson);
