I have JSON that may look like this
{
"endpoint": {
"status": "xxxx",
"port": [ 123 ],
}
}
or this
{
"endpoint": {
"status": "xxxxxxx",
"port": 456,
}
}
I have class
public class Endpoint {
private String status;
private List<Integer> port;
}
in my code
Endpoint endpoint = gson.fromJson(jsonString, Endpoint.class);
I got error like so:
Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was NUMBER
I know the problem with de-serialization that port field's type is either returned as Integer or List of Integer, which I have no control over and have to consume as is.
How to properly de-serialize using Gson in this situation? is custom de-serialization way to go? if so I'd appreciate if someone can give an example. Thanks.
