I am trying to run this code but i get this exception

• java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was BEGIN_OBJECT at line 33 column 15

This exception will occur if we are using maven dependency 1.14. There are two ways to resolve this:

1. use Maven dependencies 1.15:
   <dependency>
<groupId>com.stripe</groupId>
<artifactId>stripe-java</artifactId>
<version>1.15.0</version>
</dependency>
2. Download latest Java API source code and use that project dependency in your test example.
