Posted July 22, 20205 yr I have a JSON file with a bunch of objects in it with values that I need to read. How would I go about being able to read this file and access the values. I understand that I need to use GSON but here are my issues. 1. How do I register the file pathway because it does now like using the qualified name. Also is my JSON Reader created correctly? public class GSONDamageResistanceReader { public static void Init() { String file = "/DungeonCraft/src/main/resources/data/dungeoncraft/tags/items/armor_damage_type_resistance_values.json"; //bad file path Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create(); try (Reader reader = new FileReader(file)) { ArmorResistance armor = gson.fromJson(reader, ArmorResistance.class); System.out.println(armor); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } 2. this is a sample of my JSON file to read and the values I need to get are the resistances. Would I need to store these objects in an array and then use my ArmorResistance class to set and get the values? { "minecraft:leather_chestplate": { "slashing_resistance" : 1, "piercing_resistance" : 1, "bludgeoning_resistance" : 1 }, "minecraft:leather_leggings": { "slashing_resistance" : 1, "piercing_resistance" : 1, "bludgeoning_resistance" : 1 } } Thanks in advance for the help. If you need anymore information let me know, been stuck on this for a while and cant find much else to help.
