Code Challenge Help

Hey guys. I couldn't complete the code challenge, but not sure why. I think the issue is with JSONObject parameters, but I couldn't solve it. Would appreciate a help, and a quick explanation why mine did not work. Thanks.

JSONObject jsonData = new JSONObject(data);
String name = jsonData.getString("name");
String publisher = jsonData.getString("publisher");
String language = jsonData.getString("language");

Edit: Do I even need to add a class, method etc.? I haven't tried that to be honest, and too lazy to try :P

According to the challenge "The data in the file data.json has been loaded into a JSONObject named jsonData" already so you don't need to declare jsonData as a new JSONObject. The challenge should pass if you remove that line.

Oh, silly mistake. Thanks alot man. And by the way, did I declare the JSONObject correctly there? Just to make sure I completely understood it.
