TestJson.java

import java.io.FileReader;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;

public class TestJson{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String filePath = “D:\json\user.json”;
try {
FileReader reader = new FileReader(filePath);
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) jsonParser.parse(reader);
System.out.println(jsonObject);
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
