Convert JSON String to Java object using Jackson

This method takes an Jon String which represent a User object in JSON format and convert it into Java User object. In this Java example I have create User as nested static class for convenience, You may create a separate top level class if needed.

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;

/*
 * Java program to convert JSON String into Java object using Jackson library.
 * Jackson is very easy to use and require just two lines of code to create a Java object
 * from JSON String format.

                                                    , JsonMappingException, IOException{

                JsonToJavaConverter converter = new JsonToJavaConverter();
              
                String json = "{\n" +
                "    \"name\": \"Harit\",\n" +

                //converting JSON String to Java object

public static class User{
                private String name;
                private String surname;

                public String getName() {return name;}
                public void setName(String name) {this.name = name;}

                public String getSurname() {return surname;}
                public void setSurname(String surname) {this.surname = surname;}

                public long getPhone() {return phone;}
                public void setPhone(long phone) {this.phone = phone;}

                @Override
                public String toString() {
                        return "User [name=" + name + ", surname=" + surname + ", phone="
                                        + phone + "]";
                }
              
               
        }
}

Output:
