The Bothan Spynet serves as one of the largest intelligence agencies throughout most eras, and it plays and important and poignant role in the Rebellion era. Culturally, Bothans don't believe in direct conflict. They prefer to manipulate situations from behind the scenes, to watch and wait for information and opportunity, and to use these tools to gain status and influence.",

Even so, when a cause or situation turns a Cerean to this path, he or she tries to approach life with as many of the Cerena beliefs as possible. Aggression should be the last resort after all peaceful solutions are attempted, for example. The binary brain allows a Cerean to constantly weigh both sides in an disagreement and give two points of view equal consideration. This ability extends even to issues surrounding the Force, and a Cerean Force-user often contemplates the light and dark side simultaneously.",

Although primitive by galactic standards, the tribal Ewoks are resourceful and highly adaptable.

Males train for and fight wars, while the females farm, hunt, and handle trade. Since their homeworld was discovered, a number of Gamorreans have found their way into the galactic society. The technologically poor homeworld has a savage, primitive culture that resembles the pre-industrial periods that human civilizations experienced more than 25,000 years ago.

I would like to iterate through the each of the object of the JSON array and output them to the console window with:

I can parse with

Although, this gives me the whole JSON file and does not read the child objects in the array. How can I loop through the array and output the objects in the array.

Answer
You are missing a class that matches the list of Species that your JSON contains:
import java.util.List;
public class SpeciesGroup {
private List<Species> species;
public List<Species> getSpecies() {
return species;
}
public void setSpecies(List<Species> species) {
this.species = species;
}
}
Then you can simply read your JSON using ObjectMapper.readValue() method as follows:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File file = new File("src/main/resources/species.1.json");
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
try {
SpeciesGroup speciesGroup = mapper.readValue(new FileInputStream(file), SpeciesGroup.class);
List<Species> allSpecies = speciesGroup.getSpecies();
allSpecies.forEach(species -> {
System.out.println(species.getSourcebook());
System.out.println(species.getName());
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
