How to Update JSON value using Java

I have below json, i want to update each and every value of that json but sometimes only one value

{ 
"msgType": "NEW",
"code": "205",
"plid": "PLB52145",
}

I've already tried to update using below code

FileReader reader = new FileReader(filePath);

JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) jsonParser.parse(reader);

System.out.println(jsonObject);


long id =Long.valueOf((String) idNewObj.get("plid"));
System.out.println(plid);


idNewObj.put("plid",PL809809809);

System.out.println(jsonObject);

To make transformation/filtering of JSON files, I'd suggest to use stream/event-oriented parsing and generating rather than any object mapping. Just an example, which uses simple and lightweight JSON parser https://github.com/anatolygudkov/green-jelly :

import org.green.jelly.AppendableWriter;
import org.green.jelly.JsonEventPump;
import org.green.jelly.JsonParser;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
public class UpdateMyJson {
private static final String jsonToUpdate = "{\n" +
"\"msgType\": \"NEW\",\n" +
"\"code\": \"205\",\n" +
"\"plid\": \"PLB52145\",\n" +
"}";
public static void main(String[] args) {
final StringWriter result = new StringWriter();
final JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
parser.setListener(new MyJsonUpdater(result));
parser.parse(jsonToUpdate); // if you read a file with a buffer,
// call parse() several times part by part in a loop until EOF
parser.eoj(); // and then call .eoj()
System.out.println(result);
}
static class MyJsonUpdater extends JsonEventPump {
private boolean isPlid;
MyJsonUpdater(final Writer output) {
super(new AppendableWriter<>(output));
}
@Override
public boolean onObjectMember(final CharSequence name) {
isPlid = "plid".contentEquals(name);
return super.onObjectMember(name);
}
@Override
public boolean onStringValue(final CharSequence data) {
if (isPlid) {
if ("PLB52145".contentEquals(data)) {
return super.onStringValue("PL809809809");
}
}
return super.onStringValue(data);
}
}
}

Props:

1. the file/data doesn't require to be loaded entirely into memory, you can process megs/gigs with no problems
2. it works much more faster, especially for large files
3. it's easy to implement any custom type/rule of transformation with this pattern

Both of standard Gson and Jackson libs also provide tokenizers to work with JSON in streaming manner.

UPDATED: JsonEventPump used

You need to write the updated JSON into the file from where JSON was read. Also, I did not understand your variable assignment so I have updated that as well. Use below code:

FileReader reader = new FileReader(filePath);
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) jsonParser.parse(reader);
System.out.println(jsonObject);
long id =Long.valueOf((String) idNewObj.get("plid"));
System.out.println(id);
jsonObject.put("plid",PL809809809);
System.out.println(jsonObject);
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(filePath, false); //overwrites the content of file
writer.write(jsonObject.toString());
writer.close();
