```
public JSONTokener(java.lang.String s)
```
    Construct a JSONTokener from a string.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - a source string
- Method Detail
  - dehexchar
```
public static int dehexchar(char c)
```
    Get the hex value of a character (base16).

    JSONException - if something goes wrong
  - more
```
public boolean more()
             throws JSONException
```
    Determine if the source string still contains characters that next() can consume.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if not yet at the end of the source
    
    Throws:
    
    JSONException - if something goes wrong
  - next
```
public char next()
          throws JSONException
```
    Get the next character in the source string.
    
    Returns:
    
    the next character, or 0 if past the end of the source string
    
    Throws:
    
    JSONException - if something goes wrong
  - next
```
public char next(char c)
          throws JSONException
```
    Consume the next character, and check that it matches a specified character.
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - the character to match
    
    Returns:
    
    the character
    
    Throws:
    
    JSONException - if the character does not match
  - next
```
public java.lang.String next(int n)
                      throws JSONException
```
    Get the next n characters.
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - the number of characters to take
    
    Returns:
    
    a string of n characters
    
    Throws:
    
    JSONException - substring bounds error if there are not n characters remaining in the source string
  - nextClean
```
public char nextClean()
               throws JSONException

    Throws:
    
    JSONException - if something goes wrong
  - setOrdered
```
public void setOrdered(boolean ordered)
```
    Sets a flag which makes JSONObjects created by this tokener ordered.

  - skipTo
```
public char skipTo(char to)
            throws JSONException
