TOTD #91: Retrieve JSON libraries using Maven dependency: json-lib


So you need to include JSON libraries in your Maven project. The only option that seems to be currently available is using json-lib with the following dependencies:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.sf.json-lib</groupId>
            <artifactId>json-lib</artifactId>
            <version>2.3</version>
            <classifier>jdk15</classifier>
        </dependency>

The APIs are based upon the original work done at json.org/java.

If you are using NetBeans for adding the Maven dependency then it nicely shows the different versions for the artifact as shown below:



The usage guide and samples at json-lib have lots of documentation to get you started. Don't forget the package names are changed so "org.json.JSONObject" is "net.sf.json.JSONObject" and similarly other classes.

Please leave suggestions on other TOTD (Tip Of The Day) that you'd like to see. A complete archive of all the tips is available here.
