GSON throwing “Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY”?

Question

I\'m trying to parse a JSON string like this one

[
   {
      \"updated_at\":\"2012-03-02 21:06:01\",
      \"fetched_at\":\"2012-03-02 21:28:37.728840\",
           


        

Answer 1

according to GSON User guide, you cannot.

Collections Limitations

Can serialize collection of arbitrary objects but can not deserialize from it. Because there is no way for the user to indicate the type of the resulting object
