Error with the json-lib library for java

Question

I have a problem with the json-lib library for java, it turns out that if the JSON that I get only one record I have not added the [], but if you have more than one record if I add them.

This is my code that comes from a SQL query:

        while (oResultSet.next()) {
            JSONObject list = new JSONObject();

            list.accumulate("nombre", oResultSet.getString("nombre"));
            list.accumulate("goles", oResultSet.getInt("goles"));
            json.accumulate("list", list);

        }

        return json;

An example of what brings me back if you have more than one record

   {"list":[{"nombre":"Josele","goles":5},{"nombre":"Edu","goles":4}]}

And now an example with a single record

   {"list":{"nombre":"Eduard","goles":2}}

As you can see he lacks the [], and I would like to also appear as manerjar when I create the json failures.

I wish that when I have a single record also appeared to me the [ ]

Thanks for the attention

The answer is: Don't use .accumulate() as that's exactly what it does.

Explicitly create and add a JSONArray to your json object prior to your loop. Inside your loop, retrieve it and add to it:

JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
json.put("list", new JSONArray());
...

while (oResultSet.next()) {
    JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
    obj.accumulate("nombre", oResultSet.getString("nombre"));
    obj.accumulate("goles", oResultSet.getInt("goles"));
    json.getJSONArray("list").add(obj);
}
