#136 Parser mistakes literal string as an array
The literal String value of '[]' (without the quotes) gets parsed as an array.
The code below will throw a java.lang.ClassCastException on the 3rd line:
String json = "{\"mystring\" : \"[]\"}";
JSONObject result = JSONObject.fromObject(json);
String s = (String) result.get("mystring");
I think the type of result in the above example should be java.lang.String, not net.sf.json.JSONArray.
