Parsing JSON array with gson

Question

I am having trouble parsing my JSON which i get from javascript. The format of JSON is this:

[{\"positions\":[{\"x\":50,\"y\":50},{\"x\":82,\"y\":50},{\"x\":         


        

Answer 1

Define your classes and you will get everything you need using gson:

public class Class1 {
  private int x;
  private List<Class2> elements;
}

And the inner class:

public class Class2 {
  private String str1;
  private Integer int2;
}

Now you can parse a json string of the outer class just like that:

gson.fromJson(jsonString, Class1.class);

Your error while using Gson is that you try to parse a complex object in String, which is not possible.
