This is my JSON Array  :- 

    [ 
    	{
    		&quot;firstName&quot; : &quot;abc&quot;,
	    	&quot;lastName&quot; : &quot;xyz&quot;
    	}, 
    	{
    		&quot;firstName&quot; : &quot;pqr&quot;,
    		&quot;lastName&quot; : &quot;str&quot;
    	} 
    ]

I have this in my String object. Now I want to convert it into Java object and store it in List of java object. e.g. In Student object.
I am using below code to convert it into List of Java object : - 

    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
	StudentList studentList = mapper.readValue(jsonString, StudentList.class);

My List class is:- 

    public class StudentList {

		private List&lt;Student&gt; participantList = new ArrayList&lt;Student&gt;();
	
		//getters and setters
	}

My Student object is: -

    class Student {

		String firstName;
		String lastName;
	
		//getters and setters
	}

Am I missing something here?
I am getting below exception: -

    Exception : com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Can not deserialize instance of com.aa.Student out of START_ARRAY token
