how to use Gson to map a JSON to a class with different structure

Question

I have the following class

class MyList{
 List<String> names ;
}

and a Json structure

{
 "names" :[
     {"name":"John"},
     {"name":"David"}
  ]
}

As you can see the JSON structure isn't exactly mapping the class structure.

Is there an easy way to map the json to the desired class?

So per say the following:

    Namese names = new Gson().fromJson(json, Names.class);
    System.out.println(new Gson().toJson(names);

will printout :

["John","David"]

If there isn't a way using Gson, is there any other library that let's me do it easily?

NOTE

by using word easy I mean without manually looping through our json structure and create the class.
