Converting json string to java object?

Question

I have been looking around for examples related to converting JSON strings to Java object but haven\'t found any good examples. The one I found was really basic once and not

EDIT: You need your java Data class to be an exact model of the JSON. So your

{"data":{"translations":[{"translatedText":"Bonjour tout le monde"}]}} 

becomes:

class DataWrapper {
    public Data data;

    public static DataWrapper fromJson(String s) {
        return new Gson().fromJson(s, DataWrapper.class);
    }
    public String toString() {
        return new Gson().toJson(this);
    }
}
class Data {
    public List translations;
}
class Translation { 
    public String translatedText;
}

As the object model gets more complicated the org.json style code veers towards unreadable whereas the gson/jackson style object mapping is still just plain java objects.
