I wrote this in Java:

import java.io.FileReader;

import java.util.Iterator;



import org.json.simple.JSONArray;

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;



public class Example1 {

 public static String readReddit()throws IOException, URISyntaxException {   



    JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();

    try {

        Object obj = parser.parse(Example1.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("data/reddit/redditdump.json"));



        JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) obj;

        String kind = (String) jsonObject.get("kind");

        JSONArray data = (JSONArray) jsonObject.get("data");



        System.out.println("Kind:" + kind);

        System.out.println("Data:");

        Iterator<String> iterator = data.iterator();

        while (iterator.hasNext()) {

            System.out.println(iterator.next());

        }

    }catch (Exception e){

        e.printStackTrace();

    }

 return null;

}

with these dependencies in maven:

<dependency>

   <groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>

   <artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>

   <version>1.1.1</version>

</dependency>

and I want to read from this JSON file:

but I get an error:

Error:(132, 32) java: no suitable method found for
parse(java.io.InputStream)

method org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser.parse(java.lang.String) is not applicable

(argument mismatch; java.io.InputStream cannot be converted to java.lang.String)

method org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser.parse(java.io.Reader) is not applicable

(argument mismatch; java.io.InputStream cannot be converted to java.io.Reader)

I don't find where the issue is. Also I don't just want to print these results I get, but rather save them and use. I am not very much experienced in Java. Any help would be highly appreciated. Maybe I haven't imported any dependencies?

Can you please try the below code.

ClassLoader classLoader = Example1.class.getClassLoader();

File file = new File(classLoader.getResource("data/reddit/redditdump.json").getFile());



Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader(file));

getResourceAsStream means that you have InputStream as returned object. And your exception is no suitable method found for parse(java.io.InputStream) means that method parser.parse() does not accept InputStream. You have to look at this method implementation and find out what type of objects accept this method and convert InputStream into one of it. I saw that at least String and Reader are acceptable and I convert InputStream to Reader:

public static String readReddit() {

    JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();



    try (Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(Example1.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("data/reddit/redditdump.json"))) {

        ((JSONArray)parser.parse(reader)).forEach((Consumer<JSONObject>)obj -> {

            String kind = (String)obj.get("kind");

            JSONObject data = (JSONObject)obj.get("data");

            JSONArray children = (JSONArray)data.get("children");

            System.out.println("Kind: " + kind + ", total children: " + children.size());

        });

    } catch(Exception e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

    }



    return null;

}
