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

I was unable to use this answer because my linter won't allow unchecked casts.

Here is an alternative you can use. I feel it is actually a cleaner solution.

public  List parseJsonArray(String json, Class clazz) throws JsonProcessingException {
  var tree = objectMapper.readTree(json);
  var list = new ArrayList();
  for (JsonNode jsonNode : tree) {
    list.add(objectMapper.treeToValue(jsonNode, clazz));
  }
  return list;
}
