And secondly, to write an appropriate unit test. So, let's start with the code part. As you can see here, the code is very similar to the code we wrote in the load JSON object method. The only difference is the method we call on the read object. This method reads the JSON data as JSON array, rather than as JSON object. It is important to note that if the data in the file is not actually a JSON array, the parse will not be able to read it and will throw a JSON parsing exception. So, you have to be sure of the data format if you wish to use this method. Alternatively, if you're not sure of the data structure, you could use the read method. This method returns a JSON structure, which represents all JSON structures. And then use the get value type to determine its type. To see an example of this, take a look at…
