How do I iterate through a list of jsonObjects without any Arrays included. Just back to back objects? {::},{::},{::}

My jsonData and jsonObject obviously has the same info. I copied the json from my android monitor: {"id":"01","name":"Bill","salary":"50"}, {"id":"02","name":"James","salary":"60"}, {"id":"03","name":"Ethan","salary":"70"}

How can I iterate through my jsonObject so I can separate the three objects so I can get all of the values for my customized object? When I loop through this it makes 3 new instances with ALL three objects contain the same values as the first jsonObject (01,Bill,50). I have looked this up tirelessly but everything thing I have seen has and array included in the jsonData which would make things easier but this response Body is coming straight from a database - no arrays, just back to back objects. Iterating only gives me keys which I already did in a separate method. Now I need the values. Thanks!

Have you tried parsing the response directly into a JSONArray instead of using a JSONObject first? The response is, after all, an array of JSON objects. It's only missing the outer brackets, [], and the parser is a bit lenient about syntax.

Thanks Seth. I'm sorry for the late get back. Didn't know you answered because my notification went to spam. Anyway what I decided to do what parse the database info on the PHP side so that my output would be surrounded by the outer brackets thus now receiving what I need in JSON array form. Thank you for your response and help.
