I have a object/string in the format {"String one", "String two" } How can i cast this to java Collection.

Tried this but did not work -

om.readValue(str, new TypeReference<ArrayList<String>>(){});

Note: the String does not have [] (brackets) at the start and the end to be treated as array.

`{"String one", "String two" }` this is not valid JSON by the way. Did you mean?: `["String one", "String two" ]` – gil.fernandes Jan 25 '18 at 08:23
its not a json, But my program needs to convert object of that type to list of strings. – Pradeep Jan 25 '18 at 08:26
It's not about your needs. Gson (or Jackson) is a wrong tool for parsing non-JSON structures. – Nikolai Shevchenko Jan 25 '18 at 13:04
