How to use Jackson to deserialise an array of objects

Question

The Jackson data binding documentation indicates that Jackson supports deserialising \"Arrays of all supported types\" but I can\'t figure out the exact syntax for this.

Answer 1

First create an instance of ObjectReader which is thread-safe.

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
ObjectReader objectReader = objectMapper.reader().forType(new TypeReference>(){});

Then use it :

List result = objectReader.readValue(inputStream);
