java - Add data to JSONObject

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to add the following data to my json object. Could someone show me how to do this.

Website Example

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#example').dataTable( {
    "aoColumnDefs": [
     { "aDataSort": [ 0, 1 ], "aTargets": [ 0 ] },
     { "aDataSort": [ 1, 0 ], "aTargets": [ 1 ] },
     { "aDataSort": [ 2, 3, 4 ], "aTargets": [ 2 ] }
   ]
  } );
} );

My JSONObject that needs to incorporate the above example.

    JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
    json.put("aoColumnDefs", );

Answer 1

In order to have this result:

{"aoColumnDefs":[{"aTargets":[0],"aDataSort":[0,1]},{"aTargets":[1],"aDataSort":[1,0]},{"aTargets":[2],"aDataSort":[2,3,4]}]}

that holds the same data as:

  {
    "aoColumnDefs": [
     { "aDataSort": [ 0, 1 ], "aTargets": [ 0 ] },
     { "aDataSort": [ 1, 0 ], "aTargets": [ 1 ] },
     { "aDataSort": [ 2, 3, 4 ], "aTargets": [ 2 ] }
   ]
  }

you could use this code:

    JSONObject jo = new JSONObject();
    Collection<JSONObject> items = new ArrayList<JSONObject>();

    JSONObject item1 = new JSONObject();
    item1.put("aDataSort", new JSONArray(0, 1));
    item1.put("aTargets", new JSONArray(0));
    items.add(item1);
    JSONObject item2 = new JSONObject();
    item2.put("aDataSort", new JSONArray(1, 0));
    item2.put("aTargets", new JSONArray(1));
    items.add(item2);
    JSONObject item3 = new JSONObject();
    item3.put("aDataSort", new JSONArray(2, 3, 4));
    item3.put("aTargets", new JSONArray(2));
    items.add(item3);

    jo.put("aoColumnDefs", new JSONArray(items));

    System.out.println(jo.toString());
