title: Map JSON To List<Map<<String, Object>>
body: <p>I have a JSON of the format</p>
  
  <pre><code>[{
      "id" : "a01",
      "name" : "random1",
      "val" : "random2"
  
  },
  {
      "id" : "a03",
      "name" : "random3",
      "val" : "random4"
  }]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to map it to a <code>List</code> holding various <code>Map</code> objects. How do I achieve it?</p>
  
  <p>Even if I am able to convert this JSON to a <code>List</code> of <code>String</code> of the form</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "id" : "a01",
      "name" : "random1",
      "val" : "random2"
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then I have a method to convert each individual <code>String</code> to a <code>Map</code>.</p>
