I'm trying to find the value of the index called "username" so i only want the value it holds, which should be admin. But the problem is i cant parse it, it always returns false

Works just fine for me. If there is an issue, it's with the result of your input json object...

Code

{"username":"admin"}
username was found: true
username: "admin"

There is a parse() method too. I haven't even really looked but I'd imagine that's what the literal overload resolves to.
