Convert JSON String to Java Object (POJO)

 
 During the recent development came to a scenario where I want to convert the JSON string into the java object (POJO). to achieve this  i decided to use the "gson" API provided by the google. Following the is example how i have converted the JSON to POJO.

External API  : gson-1.3.jar from google.

import com.google.gson.Gson; import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder; public class JsonToPojo {    /**     * @param args     */ public static void main(String[] args) { String jsonString= "[{name:'Yogesh',address : 'Pimple Saudagar',age:29}, {name:'Puneet',address :'Hadapsar',age:27},                                               {name:'Sameer',address:'Wagholi',age:31}]"; Student [] students = getJsonFormString(jsonString, Student[].class); for (Student student : students) { System.out.println("Name  --> " + student.getName()); System.out.println("Address --> " + student.getAddress()); System.out.println("Age --> " + student.getAge()); } } /**  * Returns the JSON representation from string.  *   * @param <T>  * @param json  * @param type  *   */ public static <T> T getJsonFormString(String json,  Class<T> type) { GsonBuilder gsonBuilder = new GsonBuilder(); gsonBuilder.serializeNulls(); Gson gson = gsonBuilder.create(); return (T) gson.fromJson(json, type); } } class Student { private String name; private String address; private int age; /**  *  Constructor  */ public Student (){ } /**  * @return the name  */ public String getName() { return name; } /**  * @param name the name to set  */ public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } /**  * @return the address  */ public String getAddress() { return address; } /**  * @param address the address to set  */ public void setAddress(String address) { this.address = address; } /**  * @return the age  */ public int getAge() { return age; } /**  * @param age the age to set  */ public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; } }
