Server response JSON string list parse

Question

I'm making HTTP requests to a server and I my response comes back as a string in the following format:

[
  {
    "key1": "val1"
  },
  {
    "key2": "val2"
  }
]

So it is given back as a string list and each 'element' in the string is a JSON string.

What is the most effective way to retrieve each json?

I'd strip the square brackets on the first and last and then do a string.split({regex}) to get a string array but I'm not sure if that's the best way?

But the regex might get quite convoluted as I can't just split on "," as some key value pairings could have a list as values which will also include "," so determining when the first json actually starts might be tricky.

Are there any libraries that can help?

Thanks

have a look at this. https://www.baeldung.com/jackson-collection-array — Laksitha Ranasingha, Feb 25 '19 at 11:40
This is JSON array containing 2 JSON objects. A JSON parser should be able to parse this out of the box. No need to spit it up somehow manually. — Henry, Feb 25 '19 at 11:45

Found the answer,

JsonArray root = new JsonParser().parse(response).getAsJsonArray();
