Note
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight format that is used for data interchanging.
JSON is built on two structures:
- A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.
- An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence.

1. Convert JSON Array String to List
User.java
public class User {
private String name;
private String email;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "User{" +
"name='" + name + '\'' +
", email='" + email + '\'' +
'}';
}
}
Main.java
import com.squareup.moshi.JsonAdapter;
import com.squareup.moshi.Moshi;
import com.squareup.moshi.Types;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.lang.reflect.Type;
import java.util.List;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String json = "[{\"name\":\"sibin\", " +
"\"email\":\"sibin@gmail.in\"}," +
" {\"name\":\"tom\", " +
"\"email\":\"tom@gmail.in\"}]";
Moshi moshi = new Moshi.Builder().build();
Type type = Types.
newParameterizedType(List.class, User.class);
JsonAdapter<List<User>> jsonAdapter = moshi.adapter(type);
List<User> list = jsonAdapter.fromJson(json);
System.out.println(list);
}
}
Console Output:
[User{name='sibin', email='sibin@gmail.in'}, User{name='tom', email='tom@gmail.in'}]
2. List to JSON Array String
Main.java
import com.squareup.moshi.JsonAdapter;
import com.squareup.moshi.Moshi;
import com.squareup.moshi.Types;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.lang.reflect.Type;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
User user1=new User();
user1.setEmail("sibin@gmail.in");
user1.setName("sibin");
User user2=new User();
user2.setEmail("tom@gmail.in");
user2.setName("tom");
List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();
users.add(user1);
users.add(user2);
Moshi moshi = new Moshi.Builder().build();
Type type = Types.
newParameterizedType(List.class, User.class);
JsonAdapter<List<User>> jsonAdapter = moshi.adapter(type);
String json = jsonAdapter.toJson(users);
System.out.println(json);
}
}
Console Output:
[{"email":"sibin@gmail.in","name":"sibin"},{"email":"tom@gmail.in","name":"tom"}]More related topics,
