How to parse complex Json response file in Java

Parsing of JSON file may get bit complicated and confusing if you are not sure which library to use. There are different ways and Implementation available however I chose to use GSON library since it looked feasible for the JSON file which I was trying to parse. Sample JSON is provided below

In this example, I have saved my response in a file for demonstration.
Objective: Get the value of PatientID from this JSON

{
  "response": {
    "body": {
      "patients": {
        "patient": [
          {
            "patientID": "ALM22346789",
            "submittedStatus": "In Progress",
            "patientType": "Inpatient",
            "submissionDate": "2020-10-15"
          }
        ]
      }
    },
    "status": {
      "statusCode": "200",
      "statusMessage": {

      }
    }
  }
}

Imports used:
import com.google.gson.JsonArray;
import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
import com.google.gson.JsonParser;

Step1:
Read the file from the saved location and store it in JsonObject

JsonObject myobject = (JsonObject) new JsonParser().parse(new FileReader("MyFilePath"));

Step2: Hold the "response" in a JSON Object

JsonObject response = (JsonObject) myobject.get("response");

Step3: Drill down further and store the "body" and "patient" in JSON Object

JsonObject body = (JsonObject) response.get("body");
JsonObject patients= (JsonObject) body.get("patients");

Step4: "patient" tag is in a Array hence we will store it in Array Object

JsonArray patientbody= (JsonObject) patients.get("patient");
JsonObject patient0= patientbody.get(0).getAsJsonObject();

Step5: Next we will fetch the "patientID"

String patientID =caseBody0.get("patientID").getAsString(); System.out.println(patientID);

OutPut: (as printed in console)
