How to read in attribute value from json given in attribute name

Question

I am attempting to read in the following json using the jackson java library:

"WeirdData": {
  "07f072ea-80c9-4fac-8235-2e1e6576ce2e": "crapapple"
},

How should the model look like to be able to be able to read above json into a class, can this even be done?

class SponsorEntityIdsData {
  @JsonProperty("GUID")
  var id: String? = null
  var name: String? = null
}

This is not a valid JSON, is your example part of larger JSON object? — Karol Dowbecki

This is data I am getting from an api endpoint. I suspected that this data would not be valid, I'll try and convince the api owner to fix this. yes, this is part of major blob of data. — aggaton

What do you mean by this is part of major blob of data? Did you cut the example off of the complete JSON content? If so, we'd need a minimal, yet complete example of said blob/JSON. — Mick Mnemonic

Yes, since it didn't appear to be relevant, the json looked "normal" and I was trying to simplify. — aggaton

Try to use HashMap Collection in your java pojo class. You will get id (key) by using WeirdData.keySet() and by using key you will get name.

class WeirdData {
 HashMap<String,String> WeirdData;
}
