java - How to parse a JSON REST response - NoClassDefFoundError: org/json/JSONArray -

i have following uri returns me json response.
tried parse response of request , access steps array stops in first step.

here code:

 public  void getroute() throws exception {        string urltoread="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=41.43206,-81.38992&destination=montreal&key=xxx";        defaulthttpclient httpclient = new defaulthttpclient();       httpget getrequest = new httpget(urltoread);       getrequest.addheader("accept", "application/json");        httpresponse response = httpclient.execute(getrequest);       string json = ioutils.tostring(response.getentity().getcontent());         jsonarray array = new jsonarray(json);       (int = 0; < array.length(); i++) {             jsonobject object = array.getjsonobject(i);             system.out.println(object.getjsonarray("routes"));         }    } 

but complains with:

exception in thread "main" java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: org/json/jsonarray 

the maven is:

    <groupid>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupid>     <artifactid>json-simple</artifactid>     <version>1.1.1</version> </dependency> <dependency>     <groupid>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupid>     <artifactid>httpclient</artifactid>     <version>4.1.1</version> </dependency> 

org/json/jsonarray

you compiled wrong library and/or imported wrong class.

replace

<groupid>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupid> <artifactid>json-simple</artifactid> <version>1.1.1</version> 

with

<groupid>org.json</groupid> <artifactid>json</artifactid> <version>20160810</version>
