title: Parsing array of JSON arrays in Groovy
body: <p>I  have the following string from a REST JSON response:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[
     {
        "uid":10512213,
        "name":"Bob"
     },
     {
        "uid":7208201,
        "name":"John"
     },
     {
        "uid":10570,
        "name":"Jim"
     },
     {
        "uid":1799657,
        "name":"Sally"
     }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The rest response definition is from Facebook: <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api" rel="noreferrer" title="FB REST Link">FB REST Link</a></p>
  
  <p>I am using Google App Engine + GAELYK which runs in Jetty.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to convert the above into <strong>array</strong> of <strong>maps</strong> in Groovy on the Server.  (This would probably have to recurse through the response)</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for something easy that doesn't include a lot of libraries.  (I dont have maven)</p>
