title: How to consume a JSON web service in Java
body: <p>I have a web service exposed to me which returns a json object. </p>
  
  <p>I've been provided with a url <code>http://address.to.web.service:8080/game</code>
  If enter this in any browser i get a json output. </p>
  
  <p>In my code, I've already implemented logic to populate a web page but using a local json file. </p>
  
  <p>I now need to wire it up with the output of the web service. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me understand what might be the simplest way to go for this problem? </p>
