How can we convert String to Map in Java if comma is present in either key or value in `the string? -

lets have,

string value = "{name = abc, address = xyz, abc, school = mno}" 

how can convert string map split key value pair of string comma? here when try split comma error saying no value key abc address = xyz acts key value pair.

any generic approach appreciated.

from understand, want create map in entry key address has xyz, abc value.

you can use regex this. here example:

string s = "{name = abc, address = xyz, abc, school = mno}"; hashmap<string, string> map = new hashmap<string, string>(); (string element : s.replaceall("[{}]", "").split("(,(?=[^,]+=))")) {     string[] entry = element.split("=");     map.put(entry[0].trim(), entry[1].trim()); } 

what first remove { , } character string , split string on every , followed sequence of characters doesn't contain , , ends in = character.
