Answer 1

Use jsonschema2pojo to generate model for your JSON, and use the same code to deserilize it to java object

Answer 2

    String str = "Your json string";

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(str);

Answer 3

import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;

pass json in readvalue method

User user = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, User.class);

this will conver json to java
