Title Body

I am trying to parse a csv file using Jackson CsvParser into an object that also contains a list of another class. So the first 2 columns contain data that needs to be bound to the parent class and the data afterwards would need to be bound to another class. public class Person { private String name; private String age; private List<CarDetails> carDetails; //Getters+setters } public class CarDetails { private String carMake; private String carRegistration; //Getters+setters } The log to be parsed would look like: John Doe, 30, Honda, D32GHF Or in another log of users all with 2 cars it may look like: Jane Doe, 29, Mini, F64RTZ, BMW, T56DFG To parse the initial 2 items of data to the "Person" class is no problem. CsvMapper mapper = new CsvMapper(); CsvSchema schema = CsvSchema.builder() .addColumn("name") .addColumn("age") for(numberOfCars=2; numberOfCars!=0 ; numberOfCars--) schema = schema.rebuild() .addColumn("carMake") .addColumn("carRegistration") MappingIterator<Map.Entry> it = mapper .reader(Person.class) .with(schema) .readValues(personLog); List<Person> people = new ArrayList<Person>(); while (it.hasNextValue()) { Person person = (Person) it.nextValue(); people.add(person); } But I do not know how to parse the CarDetails. It seems like I have to be able to search for the value, create a new CarDetails object and add it to the Person object, but I can't see how to extract that information. My solution is the following: List<Person> people = new ArrayList<Person>(); MappingIterator<Map<?,?>> it = mapper.reader(schema).withType(Map.class).readValues(personLog); while(it.hasNextValue()) { Person person = new Person(); CarDetails = n
