Help with json parsing?

So im needing some sort of explanation for this quiz its not really making any sense to me of what they are wanting me to type. Did they already declare a new json object?

JSONChallenge.java
data.json 
{
    "name":"Treehouse Book Series",
    "publisher":"Wiley",
    "language":"English",
    "books":[
        {
            "title":"HTML5 Foundations",
            "author":"Matt West",
            "pages":384
        },
        {
            "title":"CSS3 Foundations",
            "author":"Ian Lunn",
            "pages":352
        }
    ]
}

Yes, there's a JSONObject named jsonData that has been declared for you. Sometimes additional information on the challenge is mentioned in the comments instead of the instructions so it can be easy to miss.

So all you need to do is use jsonData to create the Strings name, publisher, and language.
