How to convert InputStream to JsonArray Object using Java

Issue

I'm trying to convert InputStream to JSON Array object but not getting the JSON object properly, please find my inputStream record below:

{"id":4,"productId":9949940,"data":"product data 1","productPrice":"653.90"}
{"id":5,"productId":4940404,"data":"product data 2","productPrice":"94.12"}

I'm getting extra commas for each item and for last record as well - please find the java code below. Can someone please help me to resolve this issue. Appreciated your help in advance. Thanks!

Product.java

public void getProduct() {

    String bucketName = "myProductBucket";
    String key = "products/product-file";
            StringBuilder sb = null;
            JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
            try(InputStream inputStream = s3Service.getObjectFromS3(bucketName, key);) {
                sb = new StringBuilder();
                sb.append("[");
                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
                String line;
                while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line).append(",");
                }
                sb.append("]");

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            System.out.println(sb.toString());
}

Output:

[{"id":4,"productId":9949940,"data":"product data 1","productPrice":"653.90"},,
{"id":5,"productId":4940404,"data":"product data 2","productPrice":"94.12"},]

Expected Output:

[{"id":4,"productId":9949940,"data":"product data 1","productPrice":"653.90"},
{"id":5,"productId":4940404,"data":"product data 2","productPrice":"94.12"}]

Solution

AFAIU, this is expected, since Your JSON object is only partially valid.

Although it is not a valid JSON array either, it could be parsed into JSONArray after small modifications (mind the starting and closing brackets and a comma between the objects):

[
{"id":4,"productId":9949940,"data":"product data 1","productPrice":"653.90"},
{"id":5,"productId":4940404,"data":"product data 2","productPrice":"94.12"}
]

Or, alternatively, You could split the input into individual JSON objects by hand and parse them one by one.
