Jackson JSON map key as property of contained object

Question

Given a structure like this:

{
  \"nameOfObject\": { \"score\": 100 },
  \"anotherObject\": { \"score\": 30 }
}

Is it possible to map this

Answer 1

Here's an improved version of @Buzz Moschetti's, it uses Jackson's ObjectMapper.convertValue() to handle parsing the properties

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

Map data = mapper.readValue(inputstream, Map.class);

Container c = new Container();

for(Map.Entry entry : data.entrySet()) {
    String name = entry.getKey();
    ScoreKeeper sk = mapper.convertValue(entry.getValue(), ScoreKeeper.class);
    sk.name = name;
    c.scoreKeepers.put(name, sk);
}
