When I try to put "null" string value to a JSONObject using the API JSONObject.element(key, value), this API converts this "null" string value to null.

API used: net.sf.json.JSONObject, JAR version: json-lib-2.3-jdk15

JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject();
jObj.element("msg", null);

For the given code snippet, the output is 

{"msg":null}

However, it should be 

{"msg":"null"}

  • You don't use a string null in your code – GalAbra Jun 21 '19 at 06:22
  • For some reason, the null string as typed by the user is passed from the UI, this is being validated and sent back to the browser as a JSON. – Saurabh Arora Jun 21 '19 at 06:24

  • Nope, that is related to putting null key, this is related to "null" value – Saurabh Arora Jun 21 '19 at 06:29

Never mind, I have handled this at the UI side. The JSONObject API doesn't support the requirement.
