Declaring JSON object for Forecast and Currently

TO get the Timezone JSONObject was created using jsonData a String type like

JSONObject forecast=new JSONObject(jsonData);

But for humidity and other details why have they declared it using jsonGetObject ie JSONObject currently = forecast.getJSONObject("Currently");

I assume we are doing that in order to get the currently block in that JSON data ??

Hello Ragesh, during 'JSONObject forecast=new JSONObject(jsonData);' we create a Json object named forecast which uses the data that was passed to our method getCurrentDetails. Thus the jsonData is a JSON object which contains our weather data obtained from the forecast api. Now this JSON object has a nested JSON object inside it which gives the currrent weather data. Thus by declaring JSONObject currently = forecast.getJSONObject("currently"); we are getting the JSON data associated with the key "current" and making a new JSON object from it.
Eg jsonData: {key :value key :value key :value current(which is a key): valueJsonObject(which is a JSON object associated with key "currently") }
