Those \x*** look like Unicode characters to me. For example, 0x3cb is the lowercase "u" with those dot things above:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3cb/index.htm I'm not familiar with JSON character encoding rules, but here is a couple of ideas: 1) Decode the \x** characters yourself before handing the string to the JSON parser 2) Try setting "Accept-Charset: utf-8" on your HTTP request, hopefully the server will notice and not use the \x** sequences at all. Adjust the InputStreamReader to match. Oh, and what is the meaning of using BufferedReader with an 8-character buffer? -- K 2012/6/14 wdziemia <[email protected]> > I am having a problem with data that is a JSON file.
