How to convert JSON string into List of Java object?

Question

This is my JSON Array :-

[ 
    {
        \"firstName\" : \"abc\",
        \"lastName\" : \"xyz\"
    }, 
    {
        \"firstName\" : \"pqr\",
        \"         


        

Answer 1

I have resolved this one by creating the POJO class (Student.class) of the JSON and Main Class is used for read the values from the JSON in the problem.

   **Main Class**

    public static void main(String[] args) throws JsonParseException, 
       JsonMappingException, IOException {

    String jsonStr = "[ \r\n" + "    {\r\n" + "        \"firstName\" : \"abc\",\r\n"
            + "        \"lastName\" : \"xyz\"\r\n" + "    }, \r\n" + "    {\r\n"
            + "        \"firstName\" : \"pqr\",\r\n" + "        \"lastName\" : \"str\"\r\n" + "    } \r\n" + "]";

    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

    List details = mapper.readValue(jsonStr, new 
      TypeReference>() {      });

    for (Student itr : details) {

        System.out.println("Value for getFirstName is: " + 
                  itr.getFirstName());
        System.out.println("Value for getLastName  is: " + 
                 itr.getLastName());
    }
}

**RESULT:**
         Value for getFirstName is: abc
         Value for getLastName  is: xyz
         Value for getFirstName is: pqr
         Value for getLastName  is: str


 **Student.class:**

public class Student {
private String lastName;

private String firstName;

public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
}

public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
} }
