parse json into string from http response in java

Parse from InputStream defined in http response

public static String getASCIIContentFromInputStream(InputStream in)
			throws IOException {

		StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer();
		int n = 1;
		while (n > 0) {
			byte[] b = new byte[4096];
			n = in.read(b);

			if (n > 0)
				out.append(new String(b, 0, n));
		}

		return out.toString();
	}

Similarly, parse from the HttpEntity of http response

public static String getASCIIContentFromEntity(HttpEntity entity)
			throws IllegalStateException, IOException {
		InputStream in = entity.getContent();

		StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer();
		int n = 1;
		while (n > 0) {
			byte[] b = new byte[4096];
			n = in.read(b);

			if (n > 0)
				out.append(new String(b, 0, n));
		}

		return out.toString();
	}
