My application makes API calls and receives data in a single string. The data looks something like this: [{"city_mpg": 16, "cylinders": 6, "displacement": 2.8}]

My plan was to extract data from this string and assign it to variables ex. var cylinders = 6

Is that even possible?

EDIT:

After following this post I solved the problem with ease. Turns out i was looking at it wrong.

  • My plan was to extract data from this string and assign it to variables ex. var cylinders = 6 can you show how you tried to do this ? could it be that this data is perhaps using a common format, like Json, which you could parse and make your life simpler ? I tried using .contains() but to no avail. what does contains do ? how did you try to use that to solve your problem here ? Commented Nov 28, 2023 at 13:14

This string is in JSON format. To extract data to variables use something like GSON, which is a library build for deserialising json strings into objects. For a detailed description, on how to use GSON please check out this link or this Stack Overflow question about the same issue.
