JSONObject(String) missing?

Question

Searching up on google I found this solution to read json strings from URL:

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(IOUtils.toString(new URL("https://somelink.com"), Charset.forName("UTF-8")));

The problem is that there is no JSONObject(String) constructor, why is that?

I thin you use google-gson, use org.json, there is constructor:

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(str);
String myData = obj.getString("myData");
