Error on constructing JSONArray from String

I am trying to construct a JSONArray from a String, and extract the JSONObjects from inside it. Here is my code:

String jsonStr = "[{\"name\" : \"John Doe\",\"gender\":\"male\",\"age\":40},{\"name\" : \"Jane Doe\",开发者_Python百科\"gender\":\"female\",\"age\":30}]";

JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray(jsonStr);

I get the following error on the line JSONArray is declared:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code
        at org.json.JSONTokener.nextValue(JSONTokener.java:319)
        at org.json.JSONArray.<init>(JSONArray.java:119)
        at org.json.JSONArray.<init>(JSONArray.java:146)

I am thinking it should be possible to have an array of JSONObjects. Is there something wrong with the way I have constructed the string ? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

You're missing the trailing ]

 String jsonStr =" {\"array\": [{\"name\": \"John Doe\",\"gender\": \"male\",\"age\":40},{\"name\": \"Jane Doe\",\"gender\": \"female\",\"age\": 30 }]}";

this string is fine

if you want to validate any JSON syntax data this can help you
