Gson library can parse your json string automatically to object. Simple example:

 Gson gson = new Gson();
 int[] ints = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
 String[] strings = {"abc", "def", "ghi"};

 //(Serialization)
 gson.toJson(ints);     ==> prints [1,2,3,4,5]
 gson.toJson(strings);  ==> prints ["abc", "def", "ghi"]

 //(Deserialization)
 int[] ints2 = gson.fromJson("[1,2,3,4,5]", int[].class); 
 ==> ints2 will be same as ints
