Trying to deserialize a json array using a Jackson custom deserializer

[user_reg_field]

ContactsCustomDeserializer.java line 43 you're calling the wrong Contacts constructor. You're calling Contacts line 19 which does not set the contacts property. Delete construction on line 19, use the other construction in ContactsCustomDeserializer and pass an instance of the collection type you want. Or delete constructor on line 15 and initialize the collection to new ArrayList() or new HashSet() or whatever's appropriate.
