How to deserialize a JSON string using @JsonCreator annotation in Java?
The @JsonProperty annotation can be used to indicate the property name in JSON. This annotation can be used for a constructor or factory method. The @JsonCreator annotation is useful in situations where the @JsonSetter annotation cannot be used. For instance, immutable objects do not have any setter methods, so they need their initial values injected into the constructor.
@JsonProperty - Constructor
Example
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*;
public class JsonCreatorTest1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
String jsonString = "{\"id\":\"101\", \"fullname\":\"Ravi Chandra\", \"location\":\"Pune\"}";
System.out.println("JSON: " + jsonString);
Customer customer = om.readValue(jsonString, Customer.class);
System.out.println(customer);
}
}
// Customer class
class Customer {
private String id;
private String name;
private String address;
public Customer() {
}
@JsonCreator
public Customer(
@JsonProperty("id") String id,
@JsonProperty("fullname") String name,
@JsonProperty("location") String address) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.address = address;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Customer [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + ", address=" + address + "]";
}
}Output
JSON: {"id":"101", "fullname":"Ravi Chandra", "location":"Pune"}
Customer [id=101, name=Ravi Chandra, address=Pune]@JsonCreator - Factory Method
Example
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*;
public class JsonCreatorTest2 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String jsonString = "{\"id\":\"102\", \"fullname\":\"Raja Ramesh\", \"location\":\"Hyderabad\"}";
System.out.println("JSON: " + jsonString);
Customer customer = mapper.readValue(jsonString, Customer.class);
System.out.println(customer);
}
}
// Customer class
class Customer {
private String id;
private String name;
private String address;
public Customer() {
}
@JsonCreator
public static Customer createCustomer(
@JsonProperty("id") String id,
@JsonProperty("fullname") String name,
@JsonProperty("location") String address) {
Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.id = id;
customer.name = name;
customer.address = address;
return customer;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Customer [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + ", address=" + address + "]";
}
}Output
JSON: {"id":"101", "fullname":"Raja Ramesh", "location":"Hyderabad"}
Customer [id=102, name=Raja Ramesh, address=Hyderabad]
