I'd suggest reading the stream reader/write subtypes of AbstractSerializationStream to understand what all of the values are for - in short, a gwt-rpc response is a payload and a string table, and the payloads elements will reference the string table. You cannot know what the structure is for certain without seeing the original Java types being serialized, but often you can make good guesses.
I'd also suggest reading stackoverflow posts and the like showing how to deserialize other payloads just from context - here's a post that breaks down a payload to understand its contents: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35047102/serializing-rpc-gwt/35047887#35047887 If you havent yet, read https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eG0YocsYYbNAtivkLtcaiEE5IOF5u4LUol8-LL0TIKU/edit as well. In short though, your response value is _probably_ be a List of CourseMember types - knowing that class will help you. I can't easily guess more though, as the above doc says, the json array is read backwards, so the important details would be right before and after the string array - you have 1,7,2,1[...strings...] in the second image. From that I can say 1: if this was zero, it would be a null, since it is a positive number, read the (value - 1) entry from the string table, which is ArrayList, so: read a value of type ArrayList from the stream 7: the ArrayList has 7 items 2: first item in the arraylist - as above, if this was 0, it would be null, since it is positive, read the (value - 1) entry from the string table, and decode that type, so: read a CourseMember object from the payload 1: this is _probably_ the number 1 in the first field of the first CourseMember. ... A parser continuing in this way, with knowledge of the structure of these types could be written to decode this payload. I don't know of an off-the-shelf tool that will do it for you in a truly automated way, but could consult to write one, or guide your project in implementing one by hand. Since you're scraping anyway, consider just scraping the results of the rendered page? This will likely take substantially more CPU time, but ridiculously less developer time to implement.
