[FIXED] XML to JSON object converting string to scientific notation

Issue

In my case one of the xml tag value is "09031454866678e6". While converting to json object e in the is considered as scientific notation and converting into "9.031454866678E6".

How should I avoid this conversion and ensure that it is parsed as a string and not a number?

In code:

JSONObject xmlJSONObj = XML.toJSONObject(resp);

where resp is xml string.

it is failing while setting a value

listObject.setObjId(rootJObject.getString("abc"));

setobject method is as below

public void setObjId(String objId) {
    this.objId = objId;
}

maven dependencies used in project is

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.json</groupId>
  <artifactId>json</artifactId>
  <version>20180813</version>
</dependency>

I am expecting output to be the same as the original value, "09031454866678e6". It should not convert to scientific notification.

Solution

Have you tried calling toJSONObject(java.lang.String string, boolean keepStrings) with the second argument set to true?
