Server response JSON string list parse

Question

I'm making HTTP requests to a server and I my response comes back as a string in the following format:

[
  {
    "key1": "val1"
  },
  {
    "key2": "val2"
  }
]

So it is given back as a string list and each 'element' in the string is a JSON string.

What is the most effective way to retrieve each json?

I'd strip the square brackets on the first and last and then do a string.split({regex}) to get a string array but I'm not sure if that's the best way?

But the regex might get quite convoluted as I can't just split on "," as some key value pairings could have a list as values which will also include "," so determining when the first json actually starts might be tricky.

Are there any libraries that can help?

Thanks

This is JSON array containing 2 JSON objects. A JSON parser should be able to parse this out of the box. No need to spit it up somehow manually. — Henry

Found the answer,

JsonArray root = new JsonParser().parse(response).getAsJsonArray();
