You have to change the line

product userFromJSON = mapper.readValue(userDataJSON, product.class);

to

product[] userFromJSON = mapper.readValue(userDataJSON, product[].class);

since you are deserializing an array (btw: you should start your class names with upper case letters as mentioned earlier). Additionally you have to create setter methods for your fields or mark them as public in order to make this work.

Edit: You can also go with Steven Schlansker's suggestion and use

List userFromJSON =
        mapper.readValue(userDataJSON, new TypeReference>() {});

instead if you want to avoid arrays.
