Problem with loadJSONArray example

Processing Coding Questions
9

I am using Processing 3.5.3 and using the IDE on a Mac. I am using Java mode.

The code I have in the sketch is:

JSONArray values;

void setup() {

  values = loadJSONArray("data.json");

  for (int i = 0; i < values.size(); i++) {
    
    JSONObject animal = values.getJSONObject(i); 

    int id = animal.getInt("id");
    String species = animal.getString("species");
    String name = animal.getString("name");

    println(id + ", " + species + ", " + name);
  }
}

In the data folder I have a file “data.json” that contains:

[
   {
     "id": 0,
     "species": "Capra hircus",
     "name": "Goat"
   },
   {
     "id": 1,
     "species": "Panthera pardus",
     "name": "Leopard"
   },
   {
     "id": 2,
     "species": "Equus zebra",
     "name": "Zebra"
   }
 ]

On the Mac, the produces the error cited in my original post:
“cannot convert from processing.data.JSONArray to JSONArray”

However, I tried this on a Windows machine and it ran fine.
