Get json user from json tweet

I have a tweet that I had stored in a file. I want to extract the user as a json object and store it in a different file. The following results in java.lang.IllegalStateException: Apparently jsonStoreEnabled is not set to true.

String jsonStatus; //Content read from a file
Status status = TwitterObjectFactory.createStatus(jsonStatus); //no problem here
String jsonUser = TwitterObjectFactory.getRawJSON(status.getUser()); //Exception

How can I set jsonStoreEnabled to true? Or, is there another way of doing it? I don't have to stick with Twitter4j to create jsonUser. I tried json-simple, but the resulting String is not parsable with Twitter4j.

Solution

  • It turns out that the org.json package was helpful in this case:

    public static String extractUser(String rawJSON) {
    return new org.json.JSONObject(rawJSON).get("user").toString();
}
