Java provides a number of libraries that can be used to parse individual elements in a JSON file. One of the most popular is the Jackson library, which can be used to read JSON data into Java objects and vice versa. Here's an example of how to use Jackson to parse a JSON file:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class JsonParser {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         //create ObjectMapper instance
         ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

         //read JSON file into Java object
         MyObject myObject = objectMapper.readValue(new File("input.json"), MyObject.class);

         //print value of a specific property
         System.out.println(myObject.getProperty("property1"));
      } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

In this example, we create an instance of the ObjectMapper class and use its readValue method to read the JSON file "input.json" into a Java object of the class MyObject. We can then access individual properties of this object using getters or other methods defined in the class.
