Hi Gregory
Your wild guess got me to a working result:
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(json);
Collection data = JSONArray.toList(jsonArray, HashMap.class);
I have not tried this yet, but I would guess that when I have more nested data,
things will probably fail on me again, e.g.
[{"description": "Dinner", "price": {"amount": "25.85", "currency": "USD"},
"dates": ["2010-02-06", "2010-02-10", "2010-02-28"]}]
But for now my problem is solved and I can say: Thanks + good night.
