Gson: How do I parse polymorphic values that can be either lists or strings?

Question

I need to parse a JSON file that contains long list of customers. In the JSON file each customer may have one id as a string:

{
  \"cust_id\": \"87655\",
  ...
}         


        

Answer 1

Refer this.

Now the problem is that you will have to write your own code on the returned map to get the desired result.
