[     {       "name": "Alex",       "id": 1     },     {       "name": "Brian",       "id": 2     } ]

User.java

public class User  {     private long id;     private String name;           public long getId() {         return id;     }     public void setId(long id) {         this.id = id;     }     public String getName() {         return name;     }     public void setName(String name) {         this.name = name;     }     @Override     public String toString() {         return "User [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + "]";     } } 1.Array of objects Java program to deserialize json array as root – to Java array of objects. Parse JSON Example String userJson = "[{'name': 'Alex','id': 1}, "                 + "{'name': 'Brian','id':2}, "                 + "{'name': 'Charles','id': 3}]";           Gson gson = new Gson();  User[] userArray = gson.fromJson(userJson, User[].class);   for(User user : userArray) {     System.out.println(user); } 2. List of objects Java program to deserialize json array as root – to Java list of objects. Parse JSON Example import java.lang.reflect.Type; import java.util.ArrayList; import com.google.gson.Gson; import com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken; String userJson = "[{'name': 'Alex','id': 1}, "                 + "{'name': 'Brian','id':2}, "                 + "{'name': 'Charles','id': 3}]";           Gson gson = new Gson();  Type userListType = new TypeToken<ArrayList<User>>(){}.getType(); ArrayList<User> userArray = gson.fromJson(userJson, userListType);   for(User user : userArray) {     System.out.println(user); } Program output. Console User [id=1, name=Alex] User [id=2, name=Brian] User [id=3, name=Charles]
