I'm parsing json files using JSONArray and JSONObject but I keep getting the error shown in the title. I've downloaded org.json.jar but I don't know what to do next. Currently, org.json.jar sits in the same path as all of the other java files and classes.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am using java to create a custom nifi processor and i am trying to use the org.json.simple package to access some information from a json. When i try to compile my code i keep getting the error in the title. below is a my pom.xml:

I'm going to start by saying I'm a complete novice in Java. I've started computer science recently and I've got a project where I have to create a project to represent a server using sockets. The server will has to function as a control a library's book record/register. My professor provided a .json file with the book lists which I have to use.

I tried creating the project on VS Code, but after following these steps:

Downloaded the library from the Maven Repository.

Created a lib folder in your project's root directory and move the json-20230303.jar file to this folder.

My code couldn't import the library and this error appeared every time I tried to use the library:

"src\Gerenciador.java:2: error: package org.json does not exist import org.json.JSONArray;"

After a while I thought it would be easier to import the library on the Ide Eclipse, but after creating the project and adding it via the Build Path option, it still didn't work. Even though the library appeared in the Libraries section in the Java Build Path.

This error: "The type org.json.JSONObject is not accessible" keeps appearing.

I don't know how to fix the problem. I think I'm calling on the library wrong, but I don't know how I should do it. If there is any information missing, let me know and I'll provide it, it's my first time asking for help on a programming forum.
