JSONArray

public class JSONArray
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	org.json.JSONArray

A dense indexed sequence of values. Values may be any mix of JSONObjects, other JSONArrays, Strings, Booleans, Integers, Longs, Doubles, null or JSONObject.NULL. Values may not be NaNs, infinities, or of any type not listed here.

JSONArray has the same type coercion behavior and optional/mandatory accessors as JSONObject. See that class' documentation for details.

Warning: this class represents null in two incompatible ways: the standard Java null reference, and the sentinel value JSONObject.NULL. In particular, get fails if the requested index holds the null reference, but succeeds if it holds JSONObject.NULL.

Instances of this class are not thread safe. Although this class is nonfinal, it was not designed for inheritance and should not be subclassed. In particular, self-use by overridable methods is not specified. See Effective Java Item 17, "Design and Document or inheritance or else prohibit it" for further information.

Parameters
`copyFrom`	`Collection`: a collection whose values are of supported types. Unsupported values are not permitted and will yield an array in an inconsistent state.

Public methods

equals

Added in API level 1

public boolean equals (Object o)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
`o`	`Object`: the reference object with which to compare.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

get

Added in API level 1

public Object get (int index)

Returns the value at index.

Parameters

public boolean getBoolean (int index)

Returns the value at index if it exists and is a boolean or can be coerced to a boolean.

getString

Added in API level 1

public String getString (int index)

Returns the value at index if it exists, coercing it if necessary.

Parameters
`index`	`int`

Returns
`String`

Throws
`JSONException`	if no such value exists.

hashCode

Added in API level 1

public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns
`int`	a hash code value for this object.

isNull

Added in API level 1

public boolean isNull (int index)

Returns true if this array has no value at index, or if its value is the null reference or JSONObject.NULL.

Parameters
`index`	`int`

Returns
`boolean`

join

Added in API level 1

public String join (String separator)

Returns a new string by alternating this array's values with separator. This array's string values are quoted and have their special characters escaped. For example, the array containing the strings '12" pizza', 'taco' and 'soda' joined on '+' returns this:

"12\" pizza"+"taco"+"soda"

Returns
`String`

Throws
`JSONException`
