This is my code:

    protected List<MovieModel> doInBackground(String... params) {
        HttpURLConnection connection = null;
        BufferedReader reader = null;

        try {
            URL url = new URL(params[0]);
            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.connect();
            InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
            reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
            StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
            String line = "";
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                buffer.append(line);
            }

            String finalJson = buffer.toString();

            JSONObject parentObject = new JSONObject(finalJson);
            JSONArray parentArray = parentObject.getJSONArray("movies");

            List<MovieModel> movieModelList = new ArrayList<>();

            Gson gson = new Gson();
            for (int i = 0; i < parentArray.length(); i++) {
                JSONObject finalObject = parentArray.getJSONObject(i);
                /**
                 * below single line of code from Gson saves you from writing the json parsing yourself

                MovieModel movieModel = gson.fromJson(finalObject.toString(), MovieModel.class); // a single line json parsing using Gson
                movieModel.setMovie(finalObject.getString("movie"));
                movieModel.setYear(finalObject.getInt("year"));
                movieModel.setRating((float) finalObject.getDouble("rating"));

                List<MovieModel.Cast> castList = new ArrayList<>();
                for (int j = 0; j < finalObject.getJSONArray("cast").length(); j++) {
                    MovieModel.Cast cast = new MovieModel.Cast();
                    cast.setName(finalObject.getJSONArray("cast").getJSONObject(j).getString("name"));
                    castList.add(cast);
                }
                movieModel.setCastList(castList);
                // adding the final object in the list
                movieModelList.add(movieModel);
            }
            return movieModelList;

        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
