Note to the above solution  from A Paul   The solution doesn t work  cause it doesn t reconstructs back a HashMap lt  String  Object   - instead it creates a HashMap lt  String  LinkedHashMap     Reason why is because during demarshalling  each Object  JSON marshalled as a LinkedHashMap  is used as-is  it takes 1-on-1 the LinkedHashMap  instead of converting the LinkedHashMap back to its proper Object    If you had a HashMap lt  String  MyOwnObject   then proper demarshalling was possible - see following example   ObjectMapper mapper   new ObjectMapper    TypeFactory typeFactory   mapper getTypeFactory    MapType mapType   typeFactory constructMapType HashMap class  String class  MyOwnObject class   HashMap lt String  MyOwnObject gt  map   mapper readValue new StringReader hashTable toString     mapType

This is what worked for me       public static Map lt String  Object gt  toMap JSONObject jsonobj   throws JSONException           Map lt String  Object gt  map   new HashMap lt String  Object gt             Iterator lt String gt  keys   jsonobj keys            while keys hasNext                  String key   keys next                Object value   jsonobj get key               if  value instanceof JSONArray                    value   toList  JSONArray  value                 else if  value instanceof JSONObject                    value   toMap  JSONObject  value                                map put key  value               return map             public static List lt Object gt  toList JSONArray array  throws JSONException           List lt Object gt  list   new ArrayList lt Object gt             for int i   0  i  lt  array length    i                  Object value   array get i               if  value instanceof JSONArray                    value   toList  JSONArray  value                             else if  value instanceof JSONObject                    value   toMap  JSONObject  value                             list add value               return list      Most of this is from this question  How to convert JSONObject to new Map for all its keys using iterator java

Found out these problems can be addressed by using  ObjectMapper convertValue Object fromValue  Class lt T gt  toValueType    As a result  the origal quuestion can be solved in a 2-step converison    Demarshall the JSON back to an object - in which the Map lt String  Object gt  is demarshalled as a HashMap lt String  LinkedHashMap gt   by using bjectMapper readValue    Convert inner LinkedHashMaps back to proper objects   ObjectMapper mapper   new ObjectMapper    Class clazz    Class  Class forName classType   MyOwnObject value   mapper convertValue value  clazz    To prevent the  classType  has to be known in advance  I enforced during marshalling an extra Map was added  containing  lt key  classNameString gt  pairs  So at unmarshalling time  the classType can be extracted dynamically
