I've this piece of JSON data which comes through Fixer API for currency exchange.

http://data.fixer.io/api/latest?access_key=API_KEY&symbols=USD,INR&format=1

{
  "success":true,
  "timestamp":1593947225,
  "base":"EUR",
  "date":"2020-07-05",
  "rates":{
    "USD":1.1245,
    "INR":83.977026
  }
}

I need to read the rates nested array using RestTemplate and I tried to make this classes to make it works with no luck!

LatestRatesController.java

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;


@RestController
public class LatestRatesController {
    
    @Value("${access_key}")
    private String access_key;
    
    @Autowired
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;
    
      @Bean
        public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
            return new RestTemplate();
        }
      
    @GetMapping("/latest-rates/from/EUR/to/{to}")
    public ExchangeValue retrieveExchangeValue(@PathVariable("to") String to)
    {
        ExchangeValue exchangeValue = restTemplate.getForObject("http://data.fixer.io/api/latest?access_key=" + access_key
                +"&symbols="+ to+"&format=1", ExchangeValue.class);
        
        return exchangeValue;
        
    }
}

ExchangeValue.java

public class ExchangeValue {

    private boolean success;
    private BigDecimal timestamp;
    private String base;
    private String date;
    private List<String> rates;
    
    protected ExchangeValue() {
        
    }
    
    public ExchangeValue(boolean success, BigDecimal timestamp, String base, String date) {
        super();
        this.success = success;
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
        this.base = base;
        this.date = date;
    }
    
    public List<String> getRates() {
        return rates;
    }

    public void setRates(List<String> rates) {
        this.rates = rates;
    }

    public boolean isSuccess() {
        return success;
    }
    public void setSuccess(boolean success) {
        this.success = success;
    }
    public BigDecimal getTimestamp() {
        return timestamp;
    }
    public void setTimestamp(BigDecimal timestamp) {
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
    }
    public String getBase() {
        return base;
    }
    public void setBase(String base) {
        this.base = base;
    }
    public String getDate() {
        return date;
    }
    public void setDate(String date) {
        this.date = date;
    }
    
}

Rates.java

public class Rates {

    private String USD;

    public Rates(String uSD) {
        super();
        USD = uSD;
    }

    public String getUSD() {
        return USD;
    }

    public void setUSD(String uSD) {
        USD = uSD;
    }
    
}

and actually I need to read any other currencies might pass through the API URI so the Rates class I made it to test only with USD one, and when try to running this I got this error

You need to use Map<String, Double> rates instead of List<String> rates as json structure in ExchangeValue class.

public class ExchangeValue {

    private boolean success;
    private BigDecimal timestamp;
    private String base;
    private String date;
    private Map<String, Double> rates;
    ...
}

@Springmailer you are most wellcome

In your case rates are not List<String> but rather Map<String, Double>.

There are no square brackets [] (list) but curly ones {} (in this case a map).

Your rates object is not a JSONArray instead it's another JSONObject. So to cast it to Java Object, the better data structure would be a hash map.

Thus you dont need Rates class.

And you can define your ExchangeValue class like this:


public class ExchangeValue {

  private boolean success;
  private BigDecimal timestamp;
  private String base;
  private String date;
  private Map<String,Double> rates;

  protected ExchangeValue() {

  }

  public ExchangeValue(boolean success, BigDecimal timestamp, String base, String date, Map<String, Double> rates) {
    this.success = success;
    this.timestamp = timestamp;
    this.base = base;
    this.date = date;
    this.rates = rates;
  }

  public Map<String, Double> getRates() {
    return rates;
  }

  public void setRates(Map<String, Double> rates) {
    this.rates = rates;
  }

  public boolean isSuccess() {
    return success;
  }
  public void setSuccess(boolean success) {
    this.success = success;
  }
  public BigDecimal getTimestamp() {
    return timestamp;
  }
  public void setTimestamp(BigDecimal timestamp) {
    this.timestamp = timestamp;
  }
  public String getBase() {
    return base;
  }
  public void setBase(String base) {
    this.base = base;
  }
  public String getDate() {
    return date;
  }
  public void setDate(String date) {
    this.date = date;
  }

}
