I am having Json String this way,

json= [{"id":"1","label":"2","code":"3"},{"id":"4","label":"5","code":"6"}]

I tried converting it into Java Object this way, by using Gson,

and a Pojo called Item.java with fields namely id,label and code and getter setters for them.

String id;
    String label;
    String code;
    //getter setters

Gson gson = new Gson();
List<Item> items = gson.fromJson(json, new TypeToken<List<Item>>(){}.getType());

Then converted Java Object to List this way,

List<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (Object object : items) {
            strings.add(object != null ? object.toString() : null);
}

My output is this way,

[Item [id=1, label=2, code=3], Item [id=6, label=5, code=6]

But i need it as List<List<String>> and without [Items] i.e,

[[id=1, label=2, code=3],[id=4, label=5, code=6]]

or direct 



List<List<String>>

without key.

[[1, 2, 3],[4, 5, 6]]

What is that I am missing? Can some body help me in this?
