JsonMappingException: out of START_ARRAY token

Question

Given the following .json file:

[
    {
        \"name\" : \"New York\",
        \"number\" : \"732921\",
        \"center\" : [
                \"latitude\"         


        

Answer 1

JsonMappingException: out of START_ARRAY token exception is thrown by Jackson object mapper as it's expecting an Object {} whereas it found an Array [{}] in response.

This can be solved by replacing Object with Object[] in the argument for geForObject("url",Object[].class). References:
