So my application throws the following error: org/json/JSONArray : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0.
From this question I understand it has to do with my JRE version which, according to the answer given, should be 8 to work correctly.
My problem is I can not use 8 and would like to know what would be the alternative for using JSONArray.
You can ues a previous version of the library that has been compiled with 1.7, or use an alternative library that works with Java <1.8.
If you have access to the source, you can also try compiling it yourself with target 1.7.
