Map JSON array into java object array

Question

I'm calling API and getting the response as a JSON array I need to map that array into Java object array. Here I've defined the model class below you can see API JSON array, Model class and the way I try to map JSON array into Java object array. I need to make sure if this approach is correct or not.

API response JSON array

[
 {
 "sanctionId": 594,
 "listId": "SDN",
 "listType": "SANCTION",
 "publisher": "OFAC",
 "addedDate": "2022-02-11T04:52:59.775+0000",
 "programs": "CUBA",
 "name": " CUBA CIGARS TRADE",
 "title": null,
 "type": "Entity",
 "contacts": [
 {
 "id": 361,
 "address": " ",
 "city": "",
 "state_province": "",
 "country": "Italy",
 "remarks": null
 }
 ],
 "identities": null,
 "remarks": null,
 "other": null,
 "score": 2.1659167
 },
 {
 "sanctionId": 602,
 "listId": "SDN",
 "listType": "SANCTION",
 "publisher": "OFAC",
 "addedDate": "2022-02-11T04:52:59.779+0000",
 "programs": "CUBA",
 "name": " CUBA N CIGARS TRADE",
 "title": null,
 "type": "Entity",
 "contacts": [
 {
 "id": 361,
 "address": " ",
 "city": "",
 "state_province": "",
 "country": "Italy",
 "remarks": null
 }
 ],
 "identities": null,
 "remarks": null,
 "other": null,
 "score": 1.9129416
 }
]

Model Class(here I've omitted getters and setters) :

    public class SanctionInquiryResponse {

    private String sanctionId="";
    private String listId="";
    private String listType="";
    private String publisher="";
    private String addedDate="";
    private String programs="";
    private String name="";
    private String title="";
    private String type="";
    private String identities="";
    private String remarks="";
    private String other="";
    private String score="";
    private List contacts = null;
}

public class Contacts {

    private String id = "";
    private String address = "";
    private String city = "";
    private String state_Province = "";
    private String country = "";
    private String remarks = "";
}

Here is the way I'm trying to map the JSON array into the Java object array

String url="http://localhost:8070/getObject";
        
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        //String jsonInString = mapper.writeValueAsString(openCaseRequest);
        
        Client client = Client.create();
        client.setConnectTimeout(120*1000);
        client.setReadTimeout(120*1000);
        
        WebResource webResource = client.resource(url);
        ClientResponse response = webResource.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).post(ClientResponse.class);

        String output = response.getEntity(String.class);
        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(output);
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            
            sanctionInquiryResponse = gson.fromJson(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).toString() ,SanctionInquiryResponse.class);
            }
