How can I convert that json string to my class - gson

Question

I have a json string that has a data like this:
description: { "en" : "english desc", "es": "spanish description" }
This field is in my Item class, but it is a string:
class Item
private String description;
I am using GSON to parse this Json. I am getting error because data in Json string is not a string. It's a JSON object.
I should give a parameter of default language(en for example) and it should be parsed like:
description = "english desc"
How can I do that?

Answer 1

Description should be a composite object which contains en and es string fields as per your input string.
refer e.g.
import com.google.gson.Gson;
public class Demo1 {
class Item {
Description description;
public Description getDescription() {
return description;
}
public void setDescription(Description description) {
this.description = description;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Item [" + description + "]";
}
class Description {
String en;
String es;
public String getEn() {
return en;
}
public void setEn(String en) {
this.en = en;
}
public String getEs() {
return es;
}
public void setEs(String es) {
this.es = es;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Description [en=" + en + ", es=" + es + "]";
}
}
}
public static void main(final String[] args) {
String json = "{ description: { \"en\" : \"english desc\", \"es\": \"spanish description\" } }";
Gson gson = new Gson();
Item i = gson.fromJson(json, Item.class);
System.out.println("item:" + i);
}
}
