This is how we can do in JAVA:

compile OkHTTP in your project first.

String url = "http://wwwlab.iit.his.se/brom/kurser/mobilprog/jsonservice.php";

    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
    Request request = new Builder()
            .url(url)
            .build();

    Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

    String json = response.body().string();

    JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
    Object obj = parser.parse(json);

    JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) obj;
    JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) jsonObject.get("object");

    Iterator iterator = jsonArray.iterator();
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        JSONObject jsonObject1 = (JSONObject) iterator.next();
        String name = (String) jsonObject1.get("name");
        System.out.println(name);
    }

It gives you the idea how to do it.

Hope it helps!

Happy coding!
