Converting JSON to HTML Table Using Java

In many web development scenarios, there is a need to convert JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data into a structured HTML table. This is particularly useful when displaying data received from an API or stored in JSON format. In this guide, we'll explore a simple Java code example that demonstrates how to convert JSON data into an HTML table dynamically.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

Java installed on your system.

Java Code Example

Here is a Java code snippet that converts JSON data into an HTML table. This example assumes you have a JSON string that represents an array of objects, where each object has key-value pairs representing the data.

How It Works

It dynamically generates the HTML table structure by extracting column headers from the keys of the first object in the array.

The data rows are populated by iterating through the JSON array and extracting values for each key.

Feel free to adapt this code to your specific JSON data structure and use case.

By using a similar approach, you can efficiently convert JSON data to HTML tables in your Java applications.

Unfortunately, looks good but does not work. You get an error message: org.json.JSONException: A JSONArray text must start with '[' at 1 [character 2 line 1]
