How to get a List<JsonPath> from restassured JsonPath

I am using restassured framework, and inside it, it has JsonPath class. JsonPath has a method signature of getList(String path, Class T);

I have attempt to do something like this:

List<JsonPath> myList = myJsonPathObject.getList("mypath", JsonPath.class);

And I get a runtime casting exception. So what would be the correct format in calling this. I also attempted:

List<JsonPath> myList = myJsonPathObject.getList("mypath", new ArrayList<JsonPath>().getClass());

And that also failed. Actually that failed compilation.

I know this is an old threat, but someone commented and reminded me of this. I actually found an answer to this question.

What I had to do was cast it into a Map<String, Object> and while iterating through the objects, I have to cast the object into the appropriate class.

Map<String, Object> myMap = (Map<String, Object>) myJsonPathObject.get("mypath");
for (String key : myMap.getKeySet()) {
  Map<String, Object> subMyMap = (Map<String, Object>) myMap.get(key);
}

So now I can continue to get additional mockup, json within a json.

JsonPath is used to extract values out of a JSON document. You cannot get a list of "JsonPath" out of JSON document.
