Convert JSON into POJO (Object) similar to android in Flutter


I'm just trying to find a way to convert a json response (from a REST API) into POJO (As used in android) so that I can use the received data into my application as using Map wont be sufficient as the data i'm receiving is a little complex and contains 3 levels of arrays (arrays inside of arrays inside of arrays).

I'm using Dio library for api calls and i can make API call successfully and print the data on the console with no issues at all. Can anyone assist me in achieving this?

Below is the response i'm getting.

{
"status": 200,
"message": "success",
"data": [
    {
        "menu": {
            "megamenu_id": "55",
