Parsing nested JSON nodes to POJOs using Google Http Java Client - Stack Overflow

I do not know the Google Http Java Client, but if you can access the Jackson ObjectMapper you could do the following:

1.) Enable root unwrapping:

objectMapper.enable(DeserializationFeature.UNWRAP_ROOT_VALUE);

2.) Add annotation to User.class:

@JsonRootName("response")  class User {      …  }

I hope you can use this approach.

Edit: I dug through the google-http-java-client API and have come to the conclusion that you cannot access the ObjectMapper directly. In order to use the full power of Jackson you would have to write your own implementation of JsonObjectParser to wrap a 'real' Jackson parser. Sorry about that, maybe someone else could come up with a better solution.
