Using List for JSON Array

Question

Updating based on further exploring and thanks to @pinaka30 for the comment-

I wanted to verify if I deserialize JSON array into List, will that preserve the sequence.

I took the below JSON

{
  "MyJSON": {
    "name": "Any Name",
    "values": [
        "1111",
        "2222",
        "3333",
        "4444",
        "5555",
        "6666"
    ]
  }
}

The DTO that I created is as follows:

package com.jsonrelated.jsonrelated;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonInclude;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonPropertyOrder;

import javax.validation.Valid;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
@JsonPropertyOrder({
        "MyJSONMapping"
})
public class MyJSONMapping {

    @JsonProperty("MyJSON")
    @Valid
    @NotNull
    private MyJSON myJSON;

    @JsonProperty("MyJSON")
    public MyJSON getMyJSON() {
        return myJSON;
    }

    @JsonProperty("MyJSON")
    public void setMyJSON(MyJSON myJSON) {
        this.myJSON = myJSON;
    }
}

package com.jsonrelated.jsonrelated;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonInclude;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonPropertyOrder;

import java.util.List;


@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
@JsonPropertyOrder({
        "name",
        "values"
})
public class MyJSON {

    @JsonProperty("name")
    String name;

    @JsonProperty("values")
    List<String> values;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public List<String> getValues() {
        return values;
    }

    public void setValues(List<String> values) {
        this.values = values;
    }
}

Then I have created a REST API and sending that JSON as request Body

    @RequestMapping(path="generateMyJSONChart",method=RequestMethod.POST,produces="application/json",consumes="application/json")
    public String generateMyJSONChart(@Valid @RequestBody MyJSONMapping myJSONMapping, @RequestParam("type") @NotBlank String type) throws IOException {

        List comparedProducts = myJSONMapping.getMyJSON().getValues();

        Iterator i = comparedProducts.iterator();
        while (i.hasNext())
        {
            String name = (String) i.next();
            System.out.println(name);
        }

        return "nothing";
    }

I was checking if the sequence of the values in "Values" as in

    "values": [
        "1111",
        "2222",
        "3333",
        "4444",
        "5555",
        "6666"
    ]

are preserved if we deserialize them into List as in

    @JsonProperty("values")
    List<String> values;

I have run it multiple times with 100 elements in the values and I see the order is preserved.

Adding a good post already there Is the order of elements in a JSON list preserved? so mine seems to be duplicate.
