Cannot resolve symbol toJSONObject

Question

So I was trying to convert an XML String to JSON, but I keep getting cannot resolve symbol toJSONObject

JSONObject job = new XML.toJSONObject(d2.toString());

I included the dependency,

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.json</groupId>
        <artifactId>json</artifactId>
        <version>20171018</version>
</dependency>

How to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Remove new keyword. Change

JSONObject job = new XML.toJSONObject(d2.toString());

to

JSONObject job = XML.toJSONObject(d2.toString());

Because toJSONObject is a static method that returns JSONObject
