This json object can be very very large sometimes, I would like to parse it with GSON but I do not quite get how the format of my java objects should be to parse them.
What would really help me are some very contextual examples, given this object, how would I form my java model objects to hold the data in a gson.fromJSON method? My current objects get filled with "null"
I explain the simplicity of the object at the bottom

The real meat is in the request_types key, the second one, which is a JSONArray. Each index contains an object, each object can contain a Custom Fields key which is a json array as well, which in some cases can contain an options json array.
I have models for all of these, for a different parsing paradigm, but not for GSON. I will need to use GSON now because of memory limitations
