How Convert Complex Json String to Object .?

I wanna convert Json String to Object class. I tried several times with several codes but its gave me a error. Also now its gives null for list

Infor are below

Here is my Json

    {
    "customer": {
        "msisdn": "123456789",
        "imsi": "0987654321",
        "title": "Mr",
        "firstName": "Bilbo",
        "lastName": "Baggins",
        "dob": "21/10/2006",
        "identificationType": "PP",
        "identificationNumber": "PP12345DC",
        "onBehalfOf": "my_Merchant",
        "purchaseCategoryCode": "Game",
        "accountType": "Postpaid",
        "ownerType": "Paymaster",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "requestIdentifier": "REQ12345678",
        "responseIdentifier": "RES12345678",
        "address": {
            "line1": "Bag End",
            "line2": "",
            "line3": "",
            "city": "The Shire",
            "country": "Middle Earth"
        },
        "additionalInfo ": [{
            "tag": "creditLimit",
            "value": "2500"
        }, {
            "tag": "creditLimit",
            "value": "2500"
        }],
        "resourceURL": "http://google.com/abc/123"
    }
}

Here is my Main class code

public class TestJsonDemo{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws JsonParseException, JsonMappingException, IOException {
        String testString="{\r\n" + 
                "   \"customer\": {\r\n" + 
                "       \"msisdn\": \"123456789\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"imsi\": \"0987654321\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"title\": \"Mr\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"firstName\": \"Bilbo\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"lastName\": \"Baggins\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"dob\": \"21/10/2006\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"identificationType\": \"PP\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"identificationNumber\": \"PP12345DC\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"onBehalfOf\": \"my_Merchant\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"purchaseCategoryCode\": \"Game\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"accountType\": \"Postpaid\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"ownerType\": \"Paymaster\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"status\": \"Confirmed\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"requestIdentifier\": \"REQ12345678\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"responseIdentifier\": \"RES12345678\",\r\n" + 
                "       \"address\": {\r\n" + 
                "           \"line1\": \"Bag End\",\r\n" + 
                "           \"line2\": \"\",\r\n" + 
                "           \"line3\": \"\",\r\n" + 
                "           \"city\": \"The Shire\",\r\n" + 
                "           \"country\": \"Middle Earth\"\r\n" + 
                "       },\r\n" + 
                "       \"additionalInfo \": [{\r\n" + 
                "           \"tag\": \"creditLimit\",\r\n" + 
                "           \"value\": \"2500\"\r\n" + 
                "       }, {\r\n" + 
                "           \"tag\": \"creditLimit\",\r\n" + 
                "           \"value\": \"2500\"\r\n" + 
                "       }],\r\n" + 
                "       \"resourceURL\": \"http://google.com/abc/123\"\r\n" + 
                "   }\r\n" + 
                "}";

        Gson gson=new Gson();
        CustomerInfo customerInfo = gson.fromJson(testString, CustomerInfo.class);
        System.out.println(customerInfo);
    }
}

Here is my out

ClassPojo [customer = ClassPojo [lastName = Baggins, additionalInfo  = null, resourceURL = http://google.com/abc/123, status = Confirmed, msisdn = 123456789, ownerType = Paymaster, identificationType = PP, onBehalfOf = my_Merchant, responseIdentifier = RES12345678, requestIdentifier = REQ12345678, title = Mr, address = ClassPojo [line1 = Bag End, line3 = , country = Middle Earth, city = The Shire, line2 = ], dob = 21/10/2006, purchaseCategoryCode = Game, accountType = Postpaid, imsi = 0987654321, firstName = Bilbo, identificationNumber = PP12345DC]]

But its additionalInfo = null :-(

How to resolve this one.?

Here with I'll attach remaining POJO classes too

I would use Jackson instead of Gson, but this is a matter of taste. First I would configure the reader (jackson/gson) to be tolerant, meaning the reader should not fail on missing or unknown properties in your json. ref:TolerantReader

Additionally I would try to use Collections (ArrayList in your case) over Arrays and initialize them as empty, to avoid Nullpointer exceptions.

Also, you have a lot of Strings in your model, I would choose the types more wisely.

And while typing @cralfaro already got the point I was going to make now :D To spot such typos earlier, may remove \r and \n from your testString.
