title: Deserialization "[]" json as empty list
body: <p>I have a class with <code>List&lt;BigInteger&gt;</code> listField. JSON part for this field looks like <code>"listField":"[]"</code>. I use the following piece of code for deserialization:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
  MyClass myClass = mapper.readValue(jsonAsString, MyClass.class);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But an exception is thrown:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of VALUE_STRING token</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>fasterxml.jackson version 2.2.3</p>
  
  <p>Could you help me please how can I fix the issue?</p>
