Convert javascript array to java object -

i want convert javascript multidimensional array java object. have array stored in string. here example of array in string

string array = "[1,2,3,[3,2,4],['asdasda','test','tsdsdf'],3,2,['sddd']]"; 

and structure can in different example.

is there way convert array java object?

short answer: yes. ;-)

long answer: considering how similar java , javascript seem be, surprisingly hard.

first of all, input isn't in json format (for json, strings must use " quotes), can't use 1 of many json parsing libraries gson or jackson.

so next option use javascript interpreter rhino, call evaluatestring() , examine result.

this gives javascript array instance feel odd use java perspective - remember, javascript arrays more hash maps plain java arrays plus javascript oddities.

if want value 5 such array, can use array.get(5, array);

last option write own parser.
