title: Convert JSON into List of Object property (Java)
body: <p>I have simple json which looks like this : </p>
  
  <pre><code>[  
    {  
      "id":"0",
      "name":"Bob",
      "place":"Colorado",
    },
    {  
      "id":"1",
      "name":"John",
      "place":"Chicago",
    },
    {  
      "id":"2",
      "name":"Marry",
      "place":"Miami",
    }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I want is using Java to create list of strings (<code>List&lt;String&gt;</code>) that contains all 'names'. I have some experience using Gson and I think about something  like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Gson gson = new Gson();
  String[] stringArray= gson.fromJson(jsonString, " ".class);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem with this method is that I should create some POJO class which I didn`t in this case. Is it any way I can achieve it without creating separate class with this 'name' property ?</p>
