How to bypass errors and parse json field values

Question

How to deserialize below JSON?

When i am using below code Response response=engine.getResponse(Method.GET,strURL,strBAUsername,strBAPassword,null,ContentType.JSON); userEdit=response.as(TestUserRoleInfoList.class); // TestUserRoleInfoList is a POJO class

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown=true) public class TestUserRoleInfoList {

@JsonProperty("userRoleInfoList")
List<UserRoleInfo> userRoleInfo=new ArrayList<UserRoleInfo>();

public List<UserRoleInfo> getUserRoleInfo() {
    return userRoleInfo;
}

public void setUserRoleInfo(List<UserRoleInfo> userRoleInfo) {
    this.userRoleInfo = userRoleInfo;
}

}

Somehow it unable to parse Regions internal class. But i am least bothered. I need collectionRole fields.

How can i get the list of collection roles?

You can use org.json.JSONObject

    Response response = when()
            .get("api_url")
            .then()
            .extract().response();

    JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response.getBody().asString());
    JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("userRoleInfoList");
    List<String> stringList = new ArrayList<>();

    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
        stringList.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("collectionRole"));
    }
    System.out.println(stringList);

This will output [program-chair, faculty]
