需要将 json 响应转换为 java pojo，其中响应可能返回 {} 或 [{},{}]

Question

需要将 json 响应转换为 java pojo，其中的字段（在示例中为“performers”）可以返回为 {} 或 [{},{}] 或 null，如下例所示：

例子1:performer value here is a list of datas '{}'.

{

    title:"Sample title1",
    performers: {
         performer:[{
              creator: "AAAA",
              linker: "XXX",

         },
         {
              creator: "BBBBB",
              linker: "YYY",

         }]
     },

      venue_address: "sample addr1"

}

示例 2：performer value here is just data '{}'

---

{


    title:"sample title2",
    performers: {
         performer: {
              creator: "AAAA",
              linker: "YYY",
         }
    },
    venue_address: "sample addr2"
}

---

示例 3：performer value is null here

{

    title:"sample title3",
    performers:null,
    venue_address: "sample addr3"
}

我们如何在gson.fromJson 的帮助下将此 json 响应转换为 java pojo。当尝试将其转换为 pojo 时，将执行者字段作为执行字段列表得到错误 "Expecting an OBJECT but found is ARRAY"

Answer 1

这样做的正确方法是，

Whether or not you have performers or not it should be an array.
JsonArray should be enclosed with []. even you have ZERO or ONE or More perfomer

示例 2：此处的性能值只是数据 '{}'

{
    title:"sample title2",
    performers: [{
        performer: {
          creator: "AAAA",
          linker: "YYY",
        }]
    },
    venue_address: "sample addr2"
}

例子3：这里的performer值为null

{
    title:"sample title3",
    performers:[],
    venue_address: "sample addr3"
}
