I am interested in elements inside the refs tag which has totalcount, edges and pageInfo
The pageInfo element is fine but the edges node has a weird structure... All i am interested in is the data that it has...
the name directly inside the node tag is branchname..
The data i am interested in from each node is branchname, name, date, login
So i would like this json to be converted into a array of java object where each object would store the above bolded tags direclty..
I dont want to make an edge, node, typename class etc.. that would seem very weird.
The pageInfo and totalCount can be fetched separately..
How do i do it in java .
Thanks
