convert excel to json file - json

Question

I'm new in creating jsons and having bais knowledge of java.
I'm trying to convert database table data to json.
Having option to store table data in any format of file than convert that into json.
Here is my table data.
Table: PKGS
Price, pd, Id, Level
1 , 266 , 59098 , 5
2 , 247 , 59098 , 5
I want my table data in this json format. Its just an example...to show level in JSON
"Id":59098
"pd":266
"Level":5
"price":1
"Id":59098
"pd":247
"Level":5
"price":2
In this json there is two loops are going If am not wrong. I was able to do it for one loop in ETL..but couldnt do it for two loops.
Not getting values for reimbursementId and packageId
Have goggled alot but couldn't find any code to understand properly and approach for the same.
Code tried little bit
FileInputStream inp = new FileInputStream("D:/json.xlsx" );
Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create( inp );
Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt( 0 );
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
JSONArray rows = new JSONArray();
but dont know what to next !!
can anyone tell me how to do this ?

I advice you to use a specific tool. This is not a whole new case.
Try Talend Open Studio. It is not so complicate to use if you want to convert a file (CSV, JSON, Database directly, etc) to another. Please see TalendForge for basics.
In your case, you can connect to your database, and send all data in JSON.
Edit:
Your representation is not following the same logic than JSON. Here how I see it (and this is probably wrong because I can't understand)
If you just want Excel to JSON without any changes:
{
"rows":[
{
"Price":"1",
"pd":"266",
"Id":"59098",
"Level":"5"
},
{
"Price":"1",
"pd":"266",
"Id":"59098",
"Level":"5"
},
//and again and again
{
"Price":"2",
"pd":"247",
"Id":"59098",
"Level":"5"
}
]
}
If you want to reorganize, then define what you want. Try to imagine a sample of your data in a Java Object using ArrayList, int, String and subclass or even better in a JavaScript Object.
For the last example it will give you:
public class myJson{
ArrayList<myObject> rows;
with
public class myObject{
String Price;
String pd;
String Id;
String Level; //Or int, or date, or whatever
If you want to reorganize your data model, please give us this model.

Converting Excel file data to Json format is a a bit complex process, it depends on the structure of data, we do not have exact online tool as such so far...
custom code is required, there are various technologies available to be used, but best suited should be VBA, because VBA fits within Excel and can generate Json file quickly and flexible to edit code compared to any other technology that requires to automate to excel and import data and then process.
We can find there are various websites provide code to generate json from excel data, here is one such site looks expertise in this area. http://www.xlvba.net/tools/excel-automation-to-convert-excel-data-to-json-format.html
