public class MainBean
{
   private List<UserBean> user = new ArrayList<UserBean>();

   // getter/ setter
}  

public class UserBean 
{
   private String actor; // this for "actor": "ashok" 

   private Map<String, String> actorMap; // this for second case

   private List<String> actors; // this for third case

   @JsonAnySetter
   public void set(String name, Object value)
   {
      if (value instanceof String)
      {
         actor = (String) value;   
      }
      else if (value instanceof Map)
      {
         actorMap = (Map<String, String>) value;   
      }
      else if (value instanceof List)
      {
         actors =  (List<String>) value; 
      }
   }
}

is second case you can create simple class with two string fields name and mail and create new instance on it after if (value instanceof Map)
