JavaScript type arrays in JAVA

Question

Is it possible to have JavaScript Array show below in JAVA?

var myArray = [ [‘2011-1-1’, 2],...]

I'm trying to store date and value as a pair in an array. Is there an alternative method in JAVA to do something similar?

You mean a nested array? Sure all languages have this. Btw, you're not using the right quotes `’ != '` — elclanrs, Mar 19 '14 at 06:01
Why would you need Javascript arrays in Java, Java has its own arrays. Make an array of `Date` objects. Unless you mean to ask how parse JavaScript arrays in Java? — Tejas Kale, Mar 19 '14 at 06:01
I'm getting data through REST into JAVA, where I do some data manipulation. I wanted to keep the date and integer value together. — codeBarer, Mar 19 '14 at 06:04

Guess you are talking about keeping/accessing JSON format in Java. You can achieve that using a library like Gson to parse the response into a JsonArray like so,

JsonArray yourArray = new JsonParser()
                          .parse("[[\"2012-14-03\", 2]]")
                          .getAsJsonArray();
// Access your array like so - yourArray.get(0).getAsString();
// yourArray.get(0).getAsInt() etc

Gson Library link - https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

Does this help?

Uh, why on earth go through a parsed String? Just build `JsonElement`s (although Jackson does that better) – fge Mar 19 '14 at 06:22
I think the data is obtained from a REST call, which will be a string at the end of the day. Will not be possible to build `JsonElement`s from that, without parsing one way or the other. – aravind Mar 19 '14 at 06:26
