Having a String as below:

String s = "[{key1=value1, key2=4}, {key1=value2, key2=5}, {key1=value3, key2=10}]";

How can I convert it to List<Map<String,String>> in a gracious way? Was thinking of using ObjectInputStream somehow, but not able to come up with something.

The problem here is String it is not exactly in standard json format.

So in essence you ask how to convert a JSON into a Java object? Use some JSON library like Jackson or GSON – Turing85 Dec 25 '17 at 20:13
@Turing85 this is not in the standard json format . – dhruvsharma Dec 26 '17 at 03:59
@dhruvsharma Where is it coming from? Can you make the source include quotes so that it is standard JSON? That'd be much easier than writing your own parser. – azurefrog Dec 26 '17 at 16:05
