GSON throwing Expected BEGIN OBJECT but was BEGIN ARRAY

0 votes

When I am trying to parse a JSON object into a list of object, I am getting an exception like,

com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 1 column 2

Is there any way to fix it?

This will work:

ChannelSearchEnum[] enums = gson.fromJson(yourJson, ChannelSearchEnum[].class);

But this is better:

Type collectionType = new TypeToken<Collection<ChannelSearchEnum>>(){}.getType();
Collection<ChannelSearchEnum> enums = gson.fromJson(yourJson, collectionType);
