json Array to bean ( object mapper )

Question

Read the json object and store into the bean by creating the new getter n setter. I want to read the bold value from below json object received as string.

[{"country":"**India**","provinces":[{**"province":"India","confirmed":265928,"recovered":129095,"deaths":7473,"active":129360**}],"latitude":20.593684,"longitude":78.96288,"date":"2020-06-08"}]

Bean:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class CoronaBean {
private String country; } and other needs to be created

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        try {
            CoronaBean[] coronaBean = mapper.readValue(json, CoronaBean[].class);
            for(CoronaBean c: coronaBean ){
            System.out.println(c.getCountry());
            }
        } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

I am successfully able to read the country but I want to read other values which are in bold above

CoronaBean should contain property provinces, which must be another Bean with properties you want from there. Simple as that.

Look at the code:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class CoronaBean {
private String country; 
private ProvinceBean[] provinces
...getters and setters

} 

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class ProvinceBean {
private Integer confirmed;
private Integer recovered;
...rest you want and getters and setters
