Error parse json for retrofit 2, expected begin array but was begin object

Question

Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was BEGIN_OBJECT at line 1 column 2 path

My interface looks like this

public interface UsersApi {
   @GET("/api/?results=20")
   Call<List<Result>> getData();
}

Json API

{
   "results": [
      {
         "gender":"female",
         "name":{
            "title":"Miss",
            "first":"Lana",
            "last":"Da Silva"
            }
      }
    ]
}

Here is my POJO class, posted on pastebin as it contains 80+ lines pastebin.com/vXSvejEp — Stepan Bezhuk

similarly as I do it in cauldrons, but in it there is no error and in java is pastebin.com/v5TUP6gM — Stepan Bezhuk

Please Create modal Class like below e.g.

public class Modal {

@SerializedName("results")
private List<Result> mResults;

public List<Result> getResults() {
    return mResults;
}

public void setResults(List<Result> results) {
    mResults = results;
}

}



public interface UsersApi {
@GET("/api/?results=20")
Call<Modal> getData();
}

I really don't see how that is going to help when then Retrofit documentation advocates the way @stepan has done it square.github.io/retrofit

you can use Call<List<Repo>> if your response start from jsonArray in your case Your response satart from JsonObject. Your response: { "results": [ { "gender":"female", "name":{ "title":"Miss", "first":"Lana", "last":"Da Silva" } } ] } Required response :[ { "gender":"female", "name":{ "title":"Miss", "first":"Lana", "last":"Da Silva" } } ]
