How can I convert it into a domain of java when reading it from the database?

I have tried using Gson but no use. Data data = new Gson(),fromJson(json. Data;class);

Also I tried using Parser No USe:( Please help me with this !

Answer 1

Try using Jackson. It's JSON parsing library for Java.

You can do it like this, for example:

Player ronaldo = new ObjectMapper().readValue(jsonString, Player.class);

Where Player is class you want to convert your jsonString to.
