title: Parsing JSON in Spring MVC using Jackson JSON
body: <p>Ok, so I've been looking at this for a little while now and am no further on.  I've got a Spring MVC servlet that I need to accept JSON from a JavaScript front end web app.  To parse the JSON I need to use Jackson.  I need to take the values within the JSON and store them into a List in the order they appear in the JSON.  I've tried using the JsonFactory with the JsonParser and JsonNode objects but can quite get it to work.  I've also tried to just open a BufferedReader and iterate through the request body line by line but again can't quite get this either.  I've looked at a couple of related questions on here, but none so far have worked for me.</p>
  
  <p>Could anyone in the know point me in the right direction here please, a web page with an example would be great!</p>
