Convert a JSON string to object in Java ME?

Is there a way in Java/J2ME to convert a string, such as:

{name:"MyNode", width:200, height:100}

to an internal Object representation of the same, in one line of code?

Because the current method is too tedious:

Object n = create("new");
setString(p, "name", "MyNode");
setInteger(p, "width", 200);
setInteger(p, "height", 100);

Maybe a JSON library?

I used a few of them and my favorite is,

The library is very small so it's perfect for J2ME.

You can parse JSON into Java object in one line like this,

JSONObject json = (JSONObject)new JSONParser().parse("{\"name\":\"MyNode\", \"width\":200, \"height\":100}");
System.out.println("name=" + json.get("name"));
System.out.println("width=" + json.get("width"));
