Why is this java shit code?

Question

Java

Initial JSON
{"data":[{"permission":"publish_actions","status":"granted"}]}

String status = "";
try {
    JSONObject result = response.getJSONObject();
    status = ((JSONObject) ((JSONArray) result.get("data")).get(0)).getString("status");
} catch (JSONException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(status);

What is wrong with this code?

Answer 1

status = ((JSONObject) ((JSONArray) result.get("data")).get(0)).getString("status");

here all the evil is a bunch of brackets, explicit type casting .... not readable ...
PS
JSON-B is clearer (albeit slower)

Answer 2

At least NullPointerException is likely to be caught if, for example, the array in JSON is empty. The same is true for the parameters - there is no check for their presence. In general, I advise you to use Gson for such purposes. Life will be much easier

Answer 3

Because your boss is in a shitty mood!
