                                    "time": "02133"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }

I want to update SName, ZipCode,taxAmount,Quantity, and text[1] values are there any way to do this. I am taking JSON in a file and update tags are taking into HashMap

Answer 1

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject("Your_JSON_String");

JSONObject jsonObjectForState = jsonObject.getJSONObject(“State”);

jsonObjectForState.put("Sname", "New_Value_Here");

put(...) will replace the current value with new value. Similarly, you can update the other values. Once you are done, you can convert it back using:

jsonObject.toString();

And write it back to the file.
