 As a Native android developer, it is very difficult to parse a complex JSON in our application. Normally the rest api json structure is much complex to parse it using functions as getObject(), getString(), getBoolean() etc. So, In order to overcome this problem also for save time we use GSON. Many developers already know that, but here I give you a simple and short solution that, you can convert JSON to Kotlin Model class for any complex JSON within 5 seconds. So Just follow the guidelines- Okay, First you can add the gradle dependency of GSON implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.6' Now I can take a sample JSON, which I make model class and then parse.
