Is it ok to save a JSON array in SharedPreferences?

Question

I have a JSON Array that I need to save. I was thinking about serializing it, but would it be better to just save it as a string in SharedPreferences and then rebuild it whe

Yes, You can save.

 public void saveData(View view) {
        User user = new User(1, "Rajneesh", "hi this is rajneesh  shukla");
        userList.add(user);

        SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("DATA" , MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        String s = gson.toJson(userList);
        editor.putString("USER_DATA", s);
        editor.apply();
    }

    public void logData(View view) {
        SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("DATA", MODE_PRIVATE);
        String s = preferences.getString("USER_DATA", "Data is not saved" );

        Gson gson = new Gson();
        Type type = new TypeToken>(){} .getType();
        ArrayList mUser = gson.fromJson(s, type);

    }
