Using JSON with Java - Searching web images from stand alone app

[Pedro Guillermo Feijóo García]

Greetings,

For acadmic purposes, I want to create a standalone app which can search and find web images with word keys.

Im using this code, which is shown in this link: https://developers.google.com/image-search/v1/jsondevguide?csw=1#json_snippets_java

Code:

URL url = new URL("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?" +
                  "v=1.0&q=barack%20obama&userip=INSERT-USER-IP");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.addRequestProperty("Referer", /* Enter the URL of your site here */);

String line;
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
 builder.append(line);
}

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(builder.toString());

I have the following questions, in base of this code:

1) Which library (jar file) should I use of JSON? (The page recomended in the Google example doesn't show libraries or jars)
2) If I'm writing a standalone application, what should I put in the /*Enter the URL of your site here*/ thing?

Thank you a lot :)

In the case of a standalone application's HTTP Referer header it is strongly recommended that you create a static webpage with information about your app, including your contact information, so that Google may contact you if it should have need. You would then include the URL of that page as the HTTP Referer.

As for the jar files issue, I'm not a Java dev, so I'll let someone else speak into that matter.
