How to use Jackson to deserialise an array of objects

As Array:
[code]MyClass[] myObjects = mapper.readValue(json, MyClass[].class);[/code]

As List:
[code]List<MyClass> myObjects = mapper.readValue(jsonInput, new TypeReference<List<MyClass>>(){});[/code]

Another way to specify the List type:
[code]List<MyClass> myObjects = mapper.readValue(jsonInput, mapper.getTypeFactory().constructCollectionType(List.class, MyClass.class));[/code]
