JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) has become a widely used data interchange format due to its simplicity, readability, and compatibility with various programming languages, including Java. It allows developers to represent structured data in a lightweight and human-readable format. In Java applications, JSON is commonly used for data storage, configuration files, and API communication. The objective…
Read More Java: Convert JSON to a MapIn this tutorial, you will learn how to convert a JSON array to a Java list using a powerful Java library called Jackson. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid understanding of various methods available to achieve this conversion, allowing you to extract meaningful data from JSON arrays and leverage them…
Read More Convert JSON Array to Java List using JacksonJSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that has gained significant popularity in modern web development. It provides a simple and human-readable way to represent structured data. JSON consists of key-value pairs and supports various data types, including strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and nested objects. The importance of JSON lies in its ability…
Read More Convert Java Objects to JSONIn this tutorial, we will explore how to ignore unknown JSON fields in Java using Jackson. We will cover the default behaviour, ignoring unknown properties on a class level, ignoring unknown properties globally, and how to deal with incomplete JSON. Additionally, we will discuss security concerns related to ignoring unknown properties using annotations. If you’re…

Read More Unrecognized field not marked as ignorable – Java JacksonThe @JsonIgnore annotation is used to mark a property or a method that should be ignored by Jackson when serializing or deserializing a Java object to or from JSON. This annotation belongs to the Jackson library, which is a popular library for working with JSON in Java. Spring Boot uses Jackson as the default JSON library,…

JsonNode class is the base class for all JSON nodes, which form the basis of Jackson’s JSON Tree Model. How to iterate over JsonNode in Java? To loop through the JsonNode, we need to use the Java Iterator interface. Here is an example program…
Read More Iterate over JsonNode in JavaIn the previous lessons, we covered converting a Java Object to JsonNode and vice versa. Here, you will see how to modify JsonNode with the Java Jackson library. To see where to find Jackson jars, read Introduction to Java JSON. How to modify JsonNode with Java Jackson? The JsonNode class is immutable. That means we cannot modify it.…
Read More Modify JsonNode with Java JacksonIn the previous lesson, you learned how to ignore unknown fields, and now you will see how to ignore null fields with Java Jackson. We use the Jackson library in all the lessons since it is one of the most widely used Java library for working with JSON. To see where to find Jackson jars,…
Read More Ignore null fields with Java JacksonJackson is a popular Java library that provides powerful tools for converting JSON objects to Java objects and vice versa. In this tutorial, we will explore the different ways of mapping JSON objects to Java objects using Jackson. We’ll also look at how to handle dynamic JSON objects and cover some useful Jackson annotations that…
Read More Master Mapping JSON Objects to Java Objects with JacksonIn the previous lesson, we covered converting Java Object to JSON. Here, you will learn how to convert JSON to Java Object using the ObjectMapper class from the Jackson library. How to convert JSON to Java Object? We will use the readValue() method from the ObjectMapper class. There are a few overloaded readValue() methods. We will use the one that accepts…
