How to fetch JSON content from web to our program

Question

I am a newbie to android and I started to work with JSON and don't know why they use HTTP, etc,

Doubt 1:I am pretty confused as sometimes they use DefaultHttpClient and some other time they use Httpclient

Doubt 2: I saw two syntax used for same operation BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream,"UTF-8"),8);

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputstream));

any additional explanation on this is also helpful for me

I would suggest you to have a look at google volley which is a HTTPClient lib for android made by google which helps you a lot on json calls, also have a look at gson (a json deserielizer from google) — A.S., Mar 18 '14 at 11:00
Use asynhttpclient its pretty simple to use. for parsing json google library is there gson. — Ashwin S Ashok, Mar 18 '14 at 11:00

BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream,"UTF-8"),8); "UTF-8" means encoding from received string
