Creating JSON Object

[Kyle]

Hey everyone, so I have been dealing with an issue deserializing my
object. I get the feeling that I am not creating the object correctly,
so here is what I have.

The structure I am attempting to put the data into follows this style.

{
"series": [{
"data":[[long,long], ... ],
"label":String
},{
"data":[[long,long], ... ],
"label":String
},
...
],
"options:{
"mouse":{"track":true},
"xaxis":{"noTicks":10},
"points":{"show":true},
"lines":{"show":true}
}
}


My attempt at doing this looks something like this:

class JsonBlock {
List<Series> series = new ArrayList<Series>();
}

class Series {
List<long[]> data = new ArrayList<long[]>();
String label = "";
public Series(String label, long[] d) { this.label = label;
data.add(d); }
}

I guess you need a top-level class too:
Class TopLevel {
Series series;
Options options;
}

Other than that I dont see a problem with your code. What is the
specific error you are running into? Would help if you can share a
JUnit test that we can reproduce.

Would you say JsonBlock class is that top level class? I have not put
in the options yet. Also, does Gson support deserializing
List<Object>???

[Joel]

It looks like JsonBlock as a top-level class should be sufficient. I
noticed that it is missing an options field, so the options structure
would simply be ignored in your case.

Are you actually running into problems?

[Kyle]

It is having trouble deserializing the list of Series objects.

Gson would not be able to deserialize into List<Object> since it
doesn't know how to create a concrete class for "Object".

Okay, so apparently 1.7 fixed the problem... thanks :D I was really
close to being done though! I worked on that error for days and to
have it fixed after someone actually tried to help me :P (I asked soo
many ppl in so many places :P)

Good to know that it worked for you. In general Gson can not
deserialize into Object type except if it is a primitive.
We did improve handling of certain edge cases around that (when it is
List or Map of Objects) so that is probably what made it work for you.
