There are two potential solutions:

1. You create a DTO. Gson will ignore fields you don't map in your dto. Your json doesn't use a list it is entirely objects.

2. You manually parse the json using Gson's JsonReader

You can use a mixture of DTOs and manual parsing. I have done this for large json datasets and inconsistent datasets.
