How to convert java.lang.String to json in groovy

My java.lang.String is of form

Parsing json from string with built-in groovy tools is done with groovy.json.JsonSlurper. You can check the documentation at here.

Here's how your example json can be accessed, just like groovy nested map:

def str = '[[{"ABC":{"total":0,"failed":0,"skipped":0}}], [{"BCD": {"total":0,"failed":0,"skipped":0}}]]' def parser = new JsonSlurper() def json = parser.parseText(str) assert json[0][0].ABC.total == 0 assert json[0][0].ABC.failed == 0 assert json[0][0].ABC.skipped == 0 assert json[1][0].BCD.total == 0 assert json[1][0].BCD.failed == 0 assert json[1][0].BCD.skipped == 0
