How do I handle JSON errors in Java?

In Java, you can handle JSON errors using try-catch blocks when parsing JSON. Libraries like Jackson or Gson can throw exceptions if the JSON is malformed.

What specific exceptions should I look for?

You should look for exceptions like JsonParseException in Jackson or JsonSyntaxException in Gson. These indicate issues with the JSON format.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example using Gson:

try {
    MyObject obj = new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, MyObject.class);
} catch (JsonSyntaxException e) {
    System.out.println("Invalid JSON: " + e.getMessage());
}

What if I want to validate the JSON before parsing?

You can use a JSON schema validator like Everit or the JSON Schema Validator library to validate the JSON structure before parsing it.
