How to get Json response by selenium webdriver using Java?

Question

I'm trying to get Json response by selenium webdriver. How to get it as a Json format. Currently what I get is a String format.

Here is what I'm trying to get: {"id":377,"text":"Playing Sudoku is fun!"}

<pre style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">{"id":377,"text":"Playing Sudoku is fun!"}</pre>

Here is my code:

    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

    public class GameTestSelenuim {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/Users/lulu/Desktop/Selenium/chromedriver");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http://localhost:8080/game");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    String text = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("pre")).getText();
    System.out.println(text);
}

}

Selenium getText() method always returns a string value. You can convert the json string value to JSON object using any JSON library.

Here I used org.json library.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/Users/lulu/Desktop/Selenium/chromedriver");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http://localhost:8080/game");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    String text = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("pre")).getText();
    System.out.println(text);
    JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(text);
    System.out.println(jsonobject.getString("text"));
    System.out.println(jsonobject.getInt("id"));
}

JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(text) - Here we create JSON object.
