I used the answer by @scozy on the post: How to convert HTML to JSON using PHP to convert my html to json on my server.

Then I am using a php post request to get this json file from the server into my android application.

On the android application, I want to convert this JSON back into HTML. Can someone please guide me here? I am completely new to JSON so some help here would be great.

P.S. I am using the HTML to JSON and then JSON to HTML for a reason.

EDIT: JSON is as follows

{
    "tag": "html",
    "lang": "en",
    "children": [
        {
            "tag": "head",

  • Please see the edit. Have posted the json Commented Nov 25, 2015 at 11:09

  • Why don't you send the HTML directly? What's the benefit of converting to JSON and back? Commented Nov 25, 2015 at 13:22
  • I have seen a situation where a local network / carrier is caching the php response (in html) despite headers asking not to cache. I was thinking that maybe returning in json format might not lead to caching? Or am I going the wrong way? Commented Nov 25, 2015 at 16:36
  • If you find caching is done when it shouldn't it is always better to first try to solve this root problem rather than to implement a workaround. Btw. a simpler workaround may be to change the URL slightly between requests (for example add a timestamp). Commented Nov 25, 2015 at 19:01
