Lombok builder pattern with jackson JsonProperty
I have constructed a Java Object using lombok with builder pattern. But, I am getting the following exception when trying to deserialize a Java object using Jackson.

Dynamic serialization using Jackson – removing fields with specific annotations
Went down a path of creating an annotation that would dynamic determine whether a field should be serialized or not. The annotation’s implementation is as follows: Now the code for the Serializer: A little bit of code to show how it works: And the output is as follows: How do I get the field pin to be removed from the
Jackson polymorphic serialization generates an incorrect class name
When I use Jackson polymorphic serialization, it generates a JSON object with an incorrect fully qualified class name. The code below serializes an XMLGregorianCalendar. The output is: I expected the following: Why does it output java.util.GregorianCalendar? Or more importantly: How do I fix this? Code example: Answer To get the expected behavior I have implemented a custom XMLGregorianCalendar serializer. This
Custom Jackson Deserialization of a Generic Abstract class
I am having issues when trying to deserializing the following class: My generic abstract class: I have two concrete classes which implement MetricValueDto: IntMetricValueDto: FloatMetricValueDto: Any idea of what’s the correct strategy to deserialize MetricValueDto so I can parse it through ObjectMapper or an RestTemplate?

Jackson adds backslash in json
I’m building REST service on Jersey and using Jackson to produce JSON from java classes of my model. Model with absolutely simple values, I think this is the most typical case. But I get strange result: My expecting result: My source values of fields does NOT contains any special characters. These are simple words. There’re my Java classes. Entity: Class
Java: FasterXML / jackson deserialize array without keys
Is there a way how to deserialize JSON array into following Java class using FasterXML jackson-databind? I only found answers where there are key: value items in the array. Answer Firstly {[“a”, “b”, 1]} is not a Valid Json Array (or JSON) …. JSON Array would look like this [“a”, “b”, 1] Also you could deserialize the Json Array into
Jackson is ignoring spring.jackson.properties in my spring boot application
Jackson is ignoring spring.jackson.property-naming-strategy=SNAKE_CASE. I am using springBootVersion 1.4.2.RELEASE. In my application.properties file, I have added spring.jackson.property-naming-strategy=SNAKE_CASE But Jackson is not honoring this property, and my REST response is still camelCase. Interestingly, this annotation works just fine @JsonNaming(PropertyNamingStrategy.SnakeCaseStrategy.class) With this annotation, I am getting snake_case response. But I don’t want to annotate each response class, it’s a bit annoying. Edit
Jackson , java.time , ISO 8601 , serialize without milliseconds
I’m using Jackson 2.8 and need to communicate with an API that doesn’t allow milliseconds within ISO 8601 timestamps. The expected format is this: “2016-12-24T00:00:00Z” I’m using Jackson’s JavaTimeModule with WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS set to false. But this will print milliseconds. So I tried to use objectMapper.setDateFormat which didn’t change anything. My current workaround is this: I’m overriding the default serializer for
