[java] How to convert the following json string to java object?

I want to convert the following JSON string to a java object:

String jsonString = "{
"libraryname":"My Library",
"mymusic":[{"Artist Name":"Aaron","Song Name":"Beautiful"},
{"Artist Name":"Britney","Song Name":"Oops I did It Again"},
{"Artist Name":"Britney","Song Name":"Stronger"}]}"

My goal is to access it easily something like:

(e.g. MyJsonObject myobj = new MyJsonObject(jsonString)
myobj.mymusic[0].id would give me the ID, myobj.libraryname gives me "My Library").

I've heard of Jackson, but I am unsure how to use it to fit the json string I have since its not just key value pairs due to the "mymusic" list involved. How can I accomplish this with Jackson or is there some easier way I can accomplish this if Jackson is not the best for this?

Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonObject object = (JsonObject) parser.parse(response);// response will be the json String
YourPojo emp = gson.fromJson(object, YourPojo.class); 

Check out Google's Gson: http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

From their website:

Gson gson = new Gson(); // Or use new GsonBuilder().create();
MyType target2 = gson.fromJson(json, MyType.class); // deserializes json into target2

You would just need to make a MyType class (renamed, of course) with all the fields in the json string. It might get a little more complicated when you're doing the arrays, if you prefer to do all of the parsing manually (also pretty easy) check out http://www.json.org/ and download the Java source for the Json parser objects.

Gson is also good for it: http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

" Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. Gson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of. "
