help with mapping JSON2Apex Class to Salesforce Object Fields

Hello, I'm a complete newbie to API integration - I have REST web service exposed to consume third party data which is to  update records in Salesforce. I've got the JSON2Apex Class as the JSON is nested but unsure how to use this to map JSON fields/objects to Salesforce field names. I'm struggling to find any guidance online, please could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks Vinay, I think thats helped me to get a little further but i'm stuck withhow to refer to nested json. 

Can anyone please help me fix the below code?


exmaple JSON:
  
{
	"resourceType": "Human",
	"id": "1234567890",
	"text": {
"status": "generated",},
	"identifier": 
		{
			"use": "usual",
			"value": "1234567890"
		}
	,
	"active": true,
	"name": {
		"use": "usual",
		"family": "Smith",
		"given": 
			"John"
	},
	"mobile": {
		"system": "phone",
		"value": "077123456",
		"use": "mobile"
	}

Wrapper Class: 
global with sharing class HumanDeserialize {    
    global List<Humans> lstHumanRecords;
    global HumanDeserialize(){lstHumanRecords = new List<Humans>();}
    global class Humans{
        global String resourceType;
        global String id;
        global List <text> text;  
    }
          global class text{
            global List <identifier> identifier;
   }
       global class identifier{
        	global String use;
        	global String value;
    }
    }

Rest upsert class:
  
@RestResource(urlMapping='/Humans__c/*')
global with sharing class HumanUpdateManager {
    @HttpPut 
    global static HumanDeserialize doPutHuman(HumanDeserialize requestHumanDeserialize){
        HumanDeserialize responseHumanDeserialize = new HumanDeserialize();
        List<HumanDeserialize.Humans> lsHumanDeserializes = new List<HumanDeserialize.Humans>();
        List<Human__c> lstHumanRecords = new List<Human__c>();
    
        for(HumanDeserialize.Humans Humandeserialize : requestHumanDeserialize.lstHumanRecords){
              
    		Human__c HumanRecord = new Human__c();
        	HumanRecord.ExtID__c = requestHumanDeserialize.identifier;
            lstHumanRecords.add(HumanRecord);           
        }        
        upsert lstHumanRecords;
             	responseHumanDeserialize = requestHumanDeserialize;
        responseHumanDeserialize.identifier = HumanRecord.ExtID__c;
        
        return  responseHumanDeserialize;
        
    }
}
