How can I cast a JSONObject to a custom Java class?

Question

In Java (using json-simple) I have successfully parsed a JSON string which was created in JavaScript using JSON.stringify. It looks like this:

{\"teq\":14567,\"         


        

Answer 1

use jackson library

    //create ObjectMapper instance
    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

    //convert json string to object
    Employee emp = objectMapper.readValue(jsonData, Employee.class);
