Convert JSON to grails object

Question

I have a JSON object in my view page, I pass it via params, lets say 'params.userInfo' and in the controller, I want it to parse to an object 'User' which I have created. How do I do it ? The user object may be such

class User{
  string name
  string age
}

Thanks in advance

This should work:

def user = new User(params.userInfo)
