As the article says you need to add the simple-json library to your project:

For this we have to add Class org.json.JSONObject which available in json-20131018.jar. We need to download this jar and add this jar to your buildpath.

for it in netbeans right click 'libraries' in the project list, then click add jar/folder.

Download jar from here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/json-simple/downloads And then add it to your "libraries" in netbeans.

Added this answer, because other answer didn't provide the above link, which is the easiest to download jar from.

Answer 5

Or, instead of relying on the old version which uses the old import, use the newer version with the new import:

import com.github.cliftonlabs.json_simple.*;

For Netbeans, you can right click the project and go into Libraries to make sure the jar file is added into Classpath (not Modulepath). Press the '+' button to add it under that section by either by using a created library with the build jar and javadoc jar or, more simply, just adding the single jar file (json-simple-3.1.1.jar) directly to the classpath.

After doing this, the jar file should show up in the 'Libraries' folder under the project.
