I have this java code that retrieves the values from a secret

public class fetchSecrets {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String secretId = "test";

        SecretsManagerClient secretsClient = SecretsManagerClient.builder()
                .region(Region.EU_WEST_1)
                .build();

        fetchPassword(secretsClient, secretId);
        secretsClient.close();

    }

    public static void fetchPassword(SecretsManagerClient secretsClient,String secretId){
        try {
            GetSecretValueRequest valueRequest = GetSecretValueRequest.builder()
                .secretId(secretId)
                .build();

            GetSecretValueResponse valueResponse = secretsClient.getSecretValue(valueRequest);
            String secret = valueResponse.secretString();
            System.out.println(secret);

        } catch (SecretsManagerException e) {
            System.err.println(e.awsErrorDetails().errorMessage());
            System.exit(1);
        }

    }

}

when i run this, i get:

{"username":"test","password":"password123456"}

How do i output only the value of the password or the username keys? so expected output is e.g. password123456

I suggest doing the following: first, create a class called User like this:

   public class User{
       private String username;
       private String  password;
         //setter
        void setUsername(String username){
            this.username = username;
         }

        void setPassword(String password){
            this.password = password;
         }

      //getter
       String getUsername(){
         return this.username;
       }
       String getPassword(){
         return this.password;
       }
     }

then you can retrieve the password like this:

     User user = gson.fromJson(secret , User.class);
     System.out.println(user.getPassword());

Turns out I had to create a json object and pass in the string to extract its value:

try {
      GetSecretValueRequest valueRequest = GetSecretValueRequest.builder()
           .secretId(secretId)
           .build();

           GetSecretValueResponse valueResponse = secretsClient.getSecretValue(valueRequest);
           String secret = valueResponse.secretString();

            //defining a JSON string     
            Object obj=JSONValue.parse(secret); 
   
            //creating an object of JSONObject class and casting the object into JSONObject type  
            JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) obj;   
 
            //getting values form the JSONObject and casting that values into corresponding types  
            String username = (String) jsonObject.get("username");    

            //printing the values   
            System.out.println(username); 

        } catch (SecretsManagerException e) {
            System.err.println(e.awsErrorDetails().errorMessage());
            System.exit(1);
        }

Output : password123456
