(moved from https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-datatype-guava/issues/89 by @neilmcguigan) Should be able to have ``` enable(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY); ``` ``` class Foo { public Multimap<String,String> bar; } ``` with JSON ``` { bar: "qux" } ``` However, this throws exception: ``` JsonMappingException: Expecting START_ARRAY, found VALUE_STRING` ``` Please note that this works: ``` class Foo { List<String> bar; } ``` with JSON: ``` { bar: "qux" } ``` when ``` enable(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY); ```
