How to map a JSON string to Kotlin Map

No additional library is needed:

val jsonObj = JSONObject(jsonString)
val map = jsonObj.toMap()

where toMap is:

fun JSONObject.toMap(): Map<String, *> = keys().asSequence().associateWith {
    when (val value = this[it])
    {
        is JSONArray ->
        {
            val map = (0 until value.length()).associate { Pair(it.toString(), value[it]) }
            JSONObject(map).toMap().values.toList()
        }
        is JSONObject -> value.toMap()
        JSONObject.NULL -> null
        else            -> value
    }
}
