Use the JsonArray` class to handle arrays of JSON strings, which can be converted to Java arrays using:
```java
import javax.json.Json;
import javax.json.JsonArray;
import javax.json.JsonReader;
import java.io.StringReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String jsonString = "[\"item1\", \"item2\", \"item3\"]";
JsonReader jsonReader = Json.createReader(new StringReader(jsonString));
JsonArray jsonArray = jsonReader.readArray();
jsonReader.close();
List<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.size(); i++) {
String item = jsonArray.getString(i);
arrayList.add(item);
}
String[] array = arrayList.toArray(new String[0]);
System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.toString(array));
}
}
```
In this example, we use a `JsonReader` to create a `JsonArray` object from a JSON string, then iterate over the elements in the `JsonArray` and add each element to a `List`. Finally, we convert the `List` into a Java array using the `toArray()` method.
Note that the methods in this example apply to `JsonArray` in the `javax.json` package. If you're using another JSON parsing library, there may be different ways to achieve similar functionality.
