JavaScript type arrays in JAVA

Question

Is it possible to have JavaScript Array show below in JAVA?

var myArray = [ [‘2011-1-1’, 2],...]

I'm trying to store date and value as a pair in an array. Is there an alternative method in JAVA to do something similar?

You mean a nested array? Sure all languages have this. Btw, you're not using the right quotes ’ != ' — elclanrs

Why would you need Javascript arrays in Java, Java has its own arrays. Make an array of Date objects. Unless you mean to ask how parse JavaScript arrays in Java? — Tejas Kale

I'm getting data through REST into JAVA, where I do some data manipulation. I wanted to keep the date and integer value together. — codeBarer

Guess you are talking about keeping/accessing JSON format in Java. You can achieve that using a library like Gson to parse the response into a JsonArray like so,

JsonArray yourArray = new JsonParser()
                          .parse("[[\"2012-14-03\", 2]]")
                          .getAsJsonArray();
// Access your array like so - yourArray.get(0).getAsString();
// yourArray.get(0).getAsInt() etc

Gson Library link - https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

Does this help?

Uh, why on earth go through a parsed String? Just build JsonElements (although Jackson does that better)

I think the data is obtained from a REST call, which will be a string at the end of the day. Will not be possible to build JsonElements from that, without parsing one way or the other.
