How to iterate over a JSONObject?

Maybe this will help:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(contents.trim());
Iterator<String> keys = jsonObject.keys();

while(keys.hasNext()) {
    String key = keys.next();
    if (jsonObject.get(key) instanceof JSONObject) {
          // do something with jsonObject here      
    }
}

for my case i found iterating the names() works well

for(int i = 0; i<jobject.names().length(); i++){
    Log.v(TAG, "key = " + jobject.names().getString(i) + " value = " + jobject.get(jobject.names().getString(i)));
}

I will avoid iterator as they can add/remove object during iteration, also for clean code use for loop. it will be simply clean & fewer lines.

Using Java 8 and Lamda [Update 4/2/2019]

import org.json.JSONObject;

public static void printJsonObject(JSONObject jsonObj) {
    jsonObj.keySet().forEach(keyStr ->
    {
        Object keyvalue = jsonObj.get(keyStr);
        System.out.println("key: "+ keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);

        //for nested objects iteration if required
        //if (keyvalue instanceof JSONObject)
        //    printJsonObject((JSONObject)keyvalue);
    });
}

Using old way [Update 4/2/2019]

import org.json.JSONObject;

public static void printJsonObject(JSONObject jsonObj) {
    for (String keyStr : jsonObj.keySet()) {
        Object keyvalue = jsonObj.get(keyStr);

        //Print key and value
        System.out.println("key: "+ keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);

        //for nested objects iteration if required
        //if (keyvalue instanceof JSONObject)
        //    printJsonObject((JSONObject)keyvalue);
    }
}

Original Answer

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
public static void printJsonObject(JSONObject jsonObj) {
    for (Object key : jsonObj.keySet()) {
        //based on you key types
        String keyStr = (String)key;
        Object keyvalue = jsonObj.get(keyStr);

        //Print key and value
        System.out.println("key: "+ keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);

        //for nested objects iteration if required
        if (keyvalue instanceof JSONObject)
            printJsonObject((JSONObject)keyvalue);
    }
}

Can't believe that there is no more simple and secured solution than using an iterator in this answers...

JSONObject names () method returns a JSONArray of the JSONObject keys, so you can simply walk though it in loop:

JSONObject object = new JSONObject ();
JSONArray keys = object.names ();

for (int i = 0; i < keys.length (); i++) {
   
   String key = keys.getString (i); // Here's your key
   String value = object.getString (key); // Here's your value
   
}
