REST and JSON - converting string to JSON array

I am using gson library to manipulate json. You can download gson from here. It is a very good library to handle json. Create json parser first, it will parse the json string:

JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();

now initialize an empty json array

JsonArray jArray = new JsonArray();

Now use the parser to create json array

jArray = parser.parse(outputString).getAsJsonArray();
