In this lesson, you will learn how to iterate over JsonNode in Java.  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…

In 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.…

In 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,…

In this lesson, you will learn how to set up Jackson to ignore unknown JSON fields. For example, if we have a JSON like this one: { “name”: “Tom”, “age”: 25, “city”: “London”, “membershipType”: “golden” } And the following User class: class User { private String name; private int age; private String city; //Constructors, getters,…

In this lesson, you will learn how to properly map JSON fields to Java class fields using the Jackson library. How to map JSON fields to Java class fields? When we are converting JSON to Java Object, the default behavior of Jackson is to map the JSON fields to the corresponding fields (fields with the same…

In 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…

In this lesson, you will learn how to convert Java Object to JSON.  We will use the ObjectMapper class from the Jackson library.
