Get JSON key name using GSON

Question

I have a JSON array which contains objects such as this:

{
    \"bjones\": {
        \"fname\": \"Betty\",
        \"lname\": \"Jones\",
        \"password\": \         


        

Answer 1

Use entrySet to get the keys. Loop through the entries and create a User for every key.

JsonObject result = p.parse(file).getAsJsonObject();
Set> entrySet = result.entrySet();
for(Map.Entry entry : entrySet) {
    User newUser = gson.fromJson(p.getAsJsonObject(entry.getKey()), User.class);
    newUser.username = entry.getKey();
    //code...
}
