Just try below a simple solution:
JsonObject body=new JsonObject();
body.add("orders", (JsonElement) orders);
whenever my JSON request is like:
{
"role": "RT",
"orders": [
{
"order_id": "ORDER201908aPq9Gs",
"cart_id": 164444,
"affiliate_id": 0,
"orm_order_status": 9,
"status_comments": "IC DUE - Auto moved to Instruction Call Due after 48hrs",
"status_date": "2020-04-15",
}
]
}
