Receiving a JSON bigger than a String in Android

Question

I'm new with Android and I have a problem that I can't resolve with server communications and JSONs:

I'm receiving a JSON object from a server using the HttpClient class, like a lot of examples that I've seen:

//Crear un cliente por defecto 
HttpClient mCliente = new DefaultHttpClient();

//Indicar la url
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder([SERVER]);

//Establecer la conexión después de indicar la url
HttpPost mPost = new HttpPost(sb.toString());

//Creamos una lista de atributos
List<BasicNameValuePair> paresNombreValor = new ArrayList<BasicNameValuePair>();

//Añadimos los elementos a la lista
paresNombreValor.add(new BasicNameValuePair("operacion", "1"));  //Operación Login
paresNombreValor.add(new BasicNameValuePair("email", stringCorreo));
paresNombreValor.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", stringPass));

//UrlEncodedFormEntity : Codificamos la lista para el envio por post
mPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(paresNombreValor));

//Ejecutamos la solicitud y obtenemos una respuesta
HttpResponse respuesta = mCliente.execute(mPost);

//Obtenemos el contenido de la respuesta
HttpEntity entity = respuesta.getEntity();

//Convertimos el stream a un String 
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(entity.getContent()));

StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;

while ((line = buf.readLine()) != null) {
     sb1.append(line + "\r\n");
}
res = sb1.toString();
if (res != null)
{
JSONArray resultadoJSON= new JSONArray(res);   //<-- Here is my problem
...

The problem is that the JSON that I receive is bigger than a String and I haven't found other way to transform the reception into a JSON that not uses a String with the content as parameter.

Any Ideas?

Thank you very much

intend of converting your input stream to string Use JsonReader its allow you read json from Input Stream also will help to save memory
