How do I parse JSON into an int?

Question

My problem is that I need the ID in an int varibable and not in String. i have tried to make a cast `int id = (int) jsonObj.get("");` But it gives an error message that I cannot convert an object to an int. So I tried to convert by using: ``` String id = (String) jsonObj.get("id"); int value = Integer.parseInt(id); ``` But also that is not working. What is wrong. How is JSON working with int? My strings are working just fine its only when I try to make them as an int I get problems. Here is my code : ``` public void parseJsonData() throws ParseException { JSONParser parser = new JSONParser(); Object obj = parser.parse(jsonData); JSONObject topObject = (JSONObject) obj; JSONObject locationList = (JSONObject) topObject.get("LocationList"); JSONArray array = (JSONArray) locationList.get("StopLocation"); Iterator<JSONObject> iterator = array.iterator(); while (iterator.hasNext()) { JSONObject json…

Accepted Answer

You may use `parseInt` :

```
int id = Integer.parseInt(jsonObj.get("id"));

or better and more directly the getInt method :

```
int id = jsonObj.getInt("id");
```
