I hava json in the following form:
"result":[
{"question":"3", "answer":"Doe"},
{"question":"5", "answer":"Smith"},
{"question":"8","answer":"Jones"}
]
and a Java class ->
public class UserResponses {
private Integer question;
private String answer;
//getters and setters
}
How can i parse the json into a List of UserResponses? For example, with GSON?
JSONObject data = new JSONObject("your_json_data_here");
JSONArray questionArray = data.getJSONArray("result");
//Create an array of questions to store the data
UserResponse[] responsess = new UserResponse[questionArray.length()];
//Step through the array of JSONObjects and convert them to your Java class
Gson gson = new Gson();
for(int i = 0; i < questionArray.length(); i++){
responses[i] = gson.fromJson(
questionArray.getJSONObject(i).toString(), UserResponse.class);
}
This would be a simple way to parse the data with gson. If you wanted to do it without gson you would just have to use the getters and setters for your UserResponse class with questionArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("question") and questionArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("answer").

Given the "json" variable containing the json rappresenting a list of your_kind I would do as following (using reflection):
Type type = new TypeToken>() {}.getType();
List yourList = Gson().fromJSON(json, type);
