title: Map JSON string array to List<String> using Jackson
body: <p>I have following JSON returned from server.</p>
  
  <pre><code> String json = {
      "values": ["name","city","dob","zip"]
   };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to use <code>ObjectMapper</code> to return the <code>List&lt;String&gt;</code> values. Something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;String&gt; response = mapper.readValue(json, List.class)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried several ways but none of them worked. Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I don't want additional wrapper objects. I want to straight away get the <code>List&lt;String&gt;</code> out.</p>
