It looks like JSON, you can use for eg. json.org. If you want to parse it as string you can use split function with "," as parameter which makes you array of strings. eg. string.split(",")

You may want to define a class which has these fields e.g.:

long user_id;
String firstname;
String lastname;
String email;

You can try using this library to parse your input.

Your question is duplicate with this . However , jsonschema2pojo is the easiest way to generate java class from json data.
