How to (completely) deserialize json into a generic List?

Question

When using an ObjectMapper to transform a json String into an entity, I can make it generic as:

public  E getConvertedAs(Strin         


        

Answer 1

public static  List fromJson(String in_string, Class in_type) throws JsonParseException, JsonMappingException, IOException{
    return new ObjectMapper().readValue(in_string, new TypeReference>() {});
}

Compiles on my computer. Note that I haven't tested it, though.
