    You can use individual value arrays of their indexes to be used within the upcoming specs with a tricky zeroth member which will be removed later, after been used such as

    [
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "userData": {
        "*": {
          "userId": "data[&1].ID",
          "@(0,age)": "data[&1].age", //multiplexed this attribute in order to make it the zeroth index, which will be removed within the upcoming specs, for the "address" array at the same time, as indexing starts from zero ...
          "*": "data[&1].&",
          "a*|z*|s*|c*": {//separating "zipCode", "street", "city", "country" attributes from the others while using "a*" for "age" is tricky, temporarily
            "@": "data[&2].value"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "data": {
        "*": {
          "*": "&2[&1].&",
          "value": {
            "*": {
              "#property": "&4[&3].address[&1].custom-field&1",
              "@(2,value[&])": "&4[&3].address[&1].value"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  { // the attributes are written individually to keep the desired sorting
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "data": {
        "*": {
          "ID": "&2[&1].&",
          "age": "&2[&1].&",
          "firstName": "&2[&1].&",
          "lastname": "&2[&1].&",
          "gender": "&2[&1].&",
          "grade": "&2[&1].&",
          "birthday": "&2[&1].&",
          "address": {

              "*": {
                "$": "&5[&4].&3[&2].@(0)" // key-value pairs are exchanged for this attribute
              },
              "value": "&4[&3].&2[&1].&"
            }
          }
        }

    You may consider another library Josson to do the same job by shorter transformation statement.

    https://github.com/octomix/josson

    Deserialization

    Josson josson = Josson.fromJsonString(
    "{" +
    "  "userData": [" +
    "    {" +
    "      "userId": "1"," +
    "      "age": "20"," +
    "      "firstName": "firstname1"," +
    "      "lastname": "lastname1"," +
    "      "zipCode": "zipcode1"," +
    "      "street": "street1"," +
    "      "city": "city1"," +
    "      "country": "country"," +
    "      "gender": "gender1"," +
    "      "grade": "grade1"," +
    "      "birthday": "birthday1"" +
    "    }," +
    "    {" +
    "      "userId": "2"," +

    "      "zipCode": "zipcode2"," +

    "      "birthday": "birthday2"" +
    "    }" +
    "  ]" +
    "}");

    Transformation

    JsonNode node = josson.getNode(
    "map(data:userData" +
    "      .field(ID:userId, userId:," +
    "             zipCode:, street:, city:, country:," +
    "             address:collect(" +
    "               map(property:'customer-field1',value:zipCode)," +
    "               map(property:'customer-field2',value:street)," +
    "               map(property:'customer-field3',value:city)," +
    "               map(property:'customer-field4',value:country))))");
System.out.print(node.toPrettyString());

    Output

    {
  "data" : [ {
    "age" : "20",
