Am using Java 1.8 and the following dependency in pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
<artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
This is my sample command line app that I wrote in Java:
import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;
import org.json.simple.parser.ParseException;
public class ConsoleApp {
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
if (args.length == 0) {
System.out.println("Usage: java ConsoleApp jsonString");
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println(args[0]);
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
Object obj = parser.parse(args[0]);
JSONArray array = (JSONArray) obj;
System.out.println(array.get(1));
}
}
My IntelliJ IDEA's run configuration:
Now, when I run the program, this is the following output:

What am I possibly doing wrong?
Should I use a different JSON lib (e.g. Jackson / FasterXML, instead)?
