How to add json object into another json object at the same level?

Question

suppose that i have json object

"body" : -{
    "clinic" : -{
         "address" : -{
         "city" : Costa Mesa,
         "state" : CA      
          }

I want to add 'doctor' json object with its children as the same level as clinic in the given example.

Answer 1

You just need to get the JSONObject of the body and put the doctor

 ((JSONObject) yourJson.get("body")).put("doctor", doctorJSON);
