Question

I know there are numerous posts out there for a similar problem, but mine seems to be a bit different. I am reading in a bunch of JSON and would like to build POJO from it, but I don’t want to use the names of the JSON result. Is there a way to “map” the element names in JSON to the attributes in my POJOs (using gson or Jackson maybe)?

It’s worth mentioning this application is being built for Android.

Thanks in advance!

If you’re using Gson, you can append an attribute to your objects, like so:

@SerializedName("ServicesResult")
public String services;

Where “ServicesResult” is the actual name of the element in the JSON.
