Jackson provide api’s to convert JSON data to Collections Objects like Map, ArrayList etc.
In below example file student_data.txt having collections of students data in JSON form and through these Jacson API’s will convert JSON data to ArrayList java object.
Pre-Requisite
Add below jackson-databind-2.8.5.jar in your classpath or make dependency entry in pom.xml file.
<dependency> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId> <version>2.8.5</version> </dependency>
Sample Data
Add below content in student_data.txt
[
{
"rollNumber" : 11,
"firstName" : "Saurabh",
"lastName" : "Gupta",
"permanent" : false,
"address" : {
"addressLine" : "Lake Union Hill Way",
"city" : "Atlanta",
"zipCode" : 50005
},
"phoneNumbers" : [ 2233445566, 3344556677 ],
"cities" : [ "Dallas", "San Antonio", "Irving" ],
"properties" : {
"play" : "Badminton",
"interst" : "Math",
"age" : "34 years"
}
},
{
"rollNumber" : 11,
"firstName" : "Gaurav",
"lastName" : "Khaira",
"permanent" : true,
"address" : {
"addressLine" : " 5770 Shiloh woods dr",
"city" : "Cumming",
"zipCode" : 50007
},
"phoneNumbers" : [ 2233445567, 3344556678 ],
"cities" : [ "New York", "Austin", "Plano" ],
"properties" : {
"play" : "Baseball",
"interst" : "Science",
"age" : "36 years"
}
}
]
