Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of START_OBJECT token at [Source: java.io.StringReader@505fd738; line: 1, column: 1]

I am getting error while doing deserialization.

I have an URL and I am getting JSON data from that URL, by using the code below in sb variable but how can I deserialize it by using this code?

My JSON data is:

 { "status": "success",
   "msg": [
            { "fav_food": "roti",
              "user_name": "123",
              "email": "[email protected]" },
            { "fav_food": "iii",
              "user_name": "343",
              "email": "[email protected]" },
            { "fav_food": "paneer",
              "user_name": "343",
              "email": "[email protected]"}
          ]
 }

Code:

package com.pack;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream; 
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Collection_to_jacksonJsonServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws 
IOException {
    resp.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out=resp.getWriter();

    Map<String,Directory> contacts=new HashMap<String,Directory>();

    ObjectMapper ob=new ObjectMapper();
    List<Data> l=new ArrayList<Data>();
    URL url=new URL("https://api-demo-py.appspot.com/getAllUsers");
    HttpURLConnection request = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    request.connect();
    StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
    BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new 
    InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    try
    {
        //read from the urlConnection via the bufferedReader
      while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
      {
        sb.append(line);
      }
      br.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println(sb);
    String jsonString=sb.toString();
    l= ob.readValue(jsonString,new TypeReference<List<Data>>(){});

  } 
}

well you have to deserialize to object of following: 

class Wrapper {
    public String status;
    public List<Data> msg;
}
