I don`t even understand what part of code is being request on this example ?! Very Strange

I can`t find what the author wants on this example, can anyone help ?

JSONChallenge.java 
// A JSONObject variable named 'jsonData'
// was loaded from the data.json file.
public class JSONChallenge{

private String name;
private String publisher;
private String language;

JSONObject data=new JSONObject(jsonData);
name=data.getString("name");
publisher=data.getString("publisher");
language=data.getString("language");
}
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
        }
    ]
}

First, some parts of the code have already been set up for you in this challenge. You don't need to create a Java class or method. That's already been done and the challenge code will be put inside a method for you. Also jsonData has already been set up as a JSONObject so there is no reason to create a new one. You only have to declare the three variables as local variables and write the statements to get the data from jsonData.
