Parsing JSONObject having dynamic key

Question

I have following JSON as response from my server. At first, I thought, it was invalid JSON but after validating it, it seems to be correct:

JOSN: {
    \"cat         


        

Answer 1

Try using gson deserialization with an object of such class as a serialization output class:

class MyClass {
    @SerializedName("category")
    private Map categories;

    public Map getCategories() {
       return categories;
    }

    public void setCategories(Map categories) {
        this.categories = categories;
    }
}
