| Jul 1, 2017 at 18:07 | comment | added | Olivier Grégoire | By the way, there is no official Java Json library (there's a Java EE spec, and Jackson is its reference implementation). The library I mentioned is the library done by the guys who made the Json spec (so it's "official" by Json.org, not by Java). You're free to use whatever library you want. I personally use Gson as well, but the byte-count is unreasonable for golfing. | |

Then be creative! i->i==859?new Long(""):new org.json.JSONObject(new org.json.JSONTokener(new java.net.URL("http://xkcd.com/"+i+"/info.0.json").openStream())).get("alt") for 150 bytes.

"However, the program must throw an error when given the numbers 859 or 404." ~Second paragraph of ##Challenge

| Jun 30, 2017 at 19:41 | comment | added | Olivier Grégoire | It is not required to fail on 859! It says that we may not throw errors on numbers other than 404 and 859! Meaning, we may but aren't forced to throw errors on those numbers. | |

I think that one doesn't fail on #859.. But wait! There is a java json default library? I always used gson...

If you use the basic, official JSON library (need to change the title to "Java + JSON.org"), you can get it down to 131 bytes: i->new org.json.JSONObject(new org.json.JSONTokener(new java.net.URL("http://xkcd.com/"+i+"/info.0.json").openStream())).get("alt")

I just noticed you can create your own Function class that allows you to throw Exception.. Today's not my day.

Oh! I thought Scanner#useDelimiter returns void... Better read the docs next time ;)

i->new java.util.Scanner(new java.net.URL("http://xkcd.com/"+i+"/info.0.json").openStream()).useDelimiter("\\a").next().replaceFirst(".*\"alt\": \"","").replaceFirst("\".*","") (176 bytes, careful to the SO's comment cutter characters) And I just barely golfed anything here.
