and i am able to get objects from json via this following code :
String s = res.getBody();
Map<String,Object> jsonMap = (Map<String, Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(s);
String jsonSubset = JSON.serialize(jsonMap.get('objects'));
What i need is the value of name and email in some variable.
Please help me out in this!!

This is going to be a tedious task but once you've classified your all data into appropriate Wrapper classes then it's fairly simple and easy to maintain.
First thing is to define your MainWrapper class. This will contain all the at it's own level. If it has any Object as key-pair then we need to make sure to include it as a List<>. So This is how your MainWrapper should be:
public class MainWrapper {
Integer offset; // Singleton variable
Integer limits; // Singleton variable
List<ObjectsWrapper> objects; // Collection variable since it starts with [],
Integer size; // Singleton variable
}
Since you've array of objects in JSON that's why I've included it as a List in MainWrapper. Now it's time to define ObjectsWrapper. Below is wrapper defined for the same.
public class ObjectsWrapper {
String id;
String modifieddate;
String requestedIds;
PropertyWrapper properties;
}
Since there is only on properties associated with objects that's why it's a non-collection type. Below is representation of properties.
public class PropertyWrapper {
List<NameWrapper> name;
List<String> company;
List<String> title;
List<EmailWrapper> email;
String state;
}
public class NameWrapper {
String name;
String metadata;
}
I guess now you've a fair idea of how to organize data of JSON into various wrapper class. Once you're done with this, simply deserialize the JSON into MainWrapper class and access it.
For example:
MainWrapper mainJSONWrapper = (MainWrapper) JSON.deserialize(JSON,MainWrapper.class);
List<ObjectsWrapper> objectsLst = mainJSONWrapper.objects;
for(ObjectsWrapper obj:objectsLst) {
List<NameWrapper> lstNameWrapper = obj.properties;
for(NameWrapper nameObj:NameWrapper) {
System.debug('Name:'+nameObj.name);
System.debug('metadata:'+nameObj.metadata);
}
}
Above code is not tested but yes, it will give idea how you should deserialize JSON in appropriate manner.
