Erorr:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.json.simple.JSONArray cannot be cast to class org.json.simple.JSONObject (org.json.simple.JSONArray and org.json.simple.JSONObject are in module [email protected] of loader 'app')
    at lamda_pi/lamda_pi.letsRead.main(letsRead.java:77)

Sample json looks like below:

[

"code": "AF"
},
{
"name": "Aland Islands",
"dial_code": " 358",

CodePudding user response：

The top level object in your JSON file is an array so:

class letsRead 
 {
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        String inline = "";
    
        try

            HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    
            conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
            
            conn.connect();
