JSON parsing using Gson for Java

Question

I would like to parse data from JSON which is of type String. I am using Google Gson.

I have:

jsonLine = \"
{
 \"data\": {
  \"translati         


        

Answer 1

Simplest thing usually is to create matching Object hierarchy, like so:

public class Wrapper {
   public Data data;
}
static class Data {
   public Translation[] translations;
}
static class Translation {
   public String translatedText;
}

and then bind using GSON, traverse object hierarchy via fields. Adding getters and setters is pointless for basic data containers.

So something like:

Wrapper value = GSON.fromJSON(jsonString, Wrapper.class);
String text = value.data.translations[0].translatedText;
