org.json.simple cannot be resolved

Question

I'm a total java newbie and I have this problem. I try to decode Json and in order to do that I want to import these packages:

import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;
import org.json.simple.parser.ParseException;

"The import cannot be resolved"... are these packages unavailable anymore or do I have to do something else in order to make them work?

Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

Probably your simple json.jar file isn't in your classpath.

Answer 2

I was facing same issue in my Spring Integration project. I added below JSON dependencies in pom.xml file. It works for me.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.json</groupId>
  <artifactId>json</artifactId>
  <version>20090211</version>
</dependency>

A list of versions can be found here: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json

Answer 3

try this

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.googlecode.json-simple/json-simple -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
    <artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Answer 4

The jar file is missing. You can download the jar file and add it as external libraries in your project . You can download this from

http://www.findjar.com/jar/com/googlecode/json-simple/json-simple/1.1/json-simple-1.1.jar.html

Answer 5

Try importing this in build.gradle dependencies

compile group: 'com.googlecode.json-simple', name: 'json-simple', version: '1.1'

Answer 6

For a simple console program in vs code this worked for me: download the json-simple file from: https://code.google.com/archive/p/json-simple/downloads

Extract to your lib in your project folder then simple reference it.

Answer 7

this works for me: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.googlecode.json-simple/json-simple/1.1.1

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.googlecode.json-simple/json-simple -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
    <artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Answer 8

Or in IntelliJ IDEA, go to:

Project Settings -> Libraries -> + -> From Maven... -> com.googlecode.json-simple:json-simple:1.1.1 -> OK

Then the code should work.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
  <artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
