Ignoring new fields on JSON objects using Jackson
If you want to ignore new fields on JSON objects when using Jackson, you can use the @JsonIgnoreProperties
annotation on your Java object. This annotation allows you to specify a list of field names to ignore, or you can use the ignoreUnknown
property to ignore all unknown properties.
For example:
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class MyObject {
// class definition goes here
}
Alternatively, you can configure the ObjectMapper
to ignore unknown properties globally:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
This will cause the ObjectMapper
to ignore any unknown properties when deserializing JSON to Java objects.
