How can I deserialize json object where in keys are present pointer?

Question

I need to deserialize this json

{"dal.device.status":1,"dal.device.UID":"ZigBee:Yale Doorlock:ah.app.3781220503199452-1","service.bundleid":77,"dal.device.driver":"ZigBee","service.id":159,"service.scope":"singleton"}

But I don't how to do since there are pointers in key (eg "dal.device.status") I'm using google gson.
I'm able to deserialize this object using C# and Newtonsoft library using ClassAttributes. Is there something similar for java?

First question when seeing properties with dot in them in a json should be "god, oh god, why ? why all this hatred ?"

But if earth is at stake, you can simply deserialize this mess into an hashmap using gson and work from here.
