Value as string array in gson key value

Question

I'm new to JSON. I'm trying to assign value (in key value pairs) as array of strings using GSON. The JSON should look like as below:

{ "name": "path", "value": [ "/my-path" ,"/my-path2","/newpath"] }

How can I achieve this?

Thanks.

Even thoe I will hardly recommend you to use POJOS, gson is flexible enough to allow you to do what you want:

    JsonObject jo = new JsonObject();
    jo.addProperty("name", "path");

    JsonArray jsonArray = new JsonArray();
    jsonArray.add("my-path");
    jsonArray.add("my-path2");
    jsonArray.add("my-new-path");
    jo.add("value", jsonArray);

    System.out.println(jo);

Quite simple, and shows how Gson lacks nice fluent interface methods for the add methods family.
