Class Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.http.converter.json.Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder

public class Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
extends Object

A builder used to create ObjectMapper instances with a fluent API.

It customizes Jackson's default properties with the following ones:

• MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION is disabled
• DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES is disabled

It also automatically registers the following well-known modules if they are detected on the classpath:

• jackson-datatype-jdk8: support for other Java 8 types like Optional
• jackson-datatype-jsr310: support for Java 8 Date & Time API types
• jackson-module-kotlin: support for Kotlin classes and data classes

Since:

4.1.1

modules

public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder modules(Module... modules)

Specify the modules to be registered with the ObjectMapper.

Multiple invocations are not additive, the last one defines the modules to register.

Note: If this is set, no finding of modules is going to happen - not by Jackson, and not by Spring either (see findModulesViaServiceLoader). As a consequence, specifying an empty list here will suppress any kind of module detection.

Specify either this or modulesToInstall(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module...), not both.

modulesToInstall

public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder modulesToInstall(Module... modules)

Specify one or more modules to be registered with the ObjectMapper.

Multiple invocations are not additive, the last one defines the modules to register.

Modules specified here will be registered after Spring's autodetection of JSR-310 and Joda-Time, or Jackson's finding of modules (see findModulesViaServiceLoader), allowing to eventually override their configuration.

Specify either this or modules(Module...), not both.

Specify one or more modules by class to be registered with the ObjectMapper.

Multiple invocations are not additive, the last one defines the modules to register.

Modules specified here will be registered after Spring's autodetection of JSR-310 and Joda-Time, or Jackson's finding of modules (see findModulesViaServiceLoader), allowing to eventually override their configuration.

• Module

findModulesViaServiceLoader

public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder findModulesViaServiceLoader(boolean findModules)

Set whether to let Jackson find available modules via the JDK ServiceLoader, based on META-INF metadata in the classpath.

• ObjectMapper.findModules()

moduleClassLoader

public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder moduleClassLoader(ClassLoader moduleClassLoader)

Set the ClassLoader to use for loading Jackson extension modules.
