Jackson Annotations - Mixin Annotation
Overview
Mixin Annotation is a way to associate annotations without modifying the target class.
Create a class to be used as Mixin
Create a class where required annotation is applied.
@JsonIgnoreType class MixInForIgnoreType {}
Create a class where annotation is to be applied indirectly.
class Name { public String name; Name(String name){ this.name = name; } }
Apply the Mixin
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); mapper.addMixIn(Name.class, MixInForIgnoreType.class);
Example - Serialization without Mixin Annotation
JacksonTester.java
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; public class JacksonTester { public static void main(String args[]) { try { ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); Student student = new Student(1,11,"1ab","Mark"); String jsonString = mapper .writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter() .writeValueAsString(student); System.out.println(jsonString); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } class Student { public int id; public String systemId; public int rollNo; public Name nameObj; Student(int id, int rollNo, String systemId, String name) { this.id = id; this.systemId = systemId; this.rollNo = rollNo; nameObj = new Name(name); } } class Name { public String name; Name(String name){ this.name = name; } }
Output
Run the JacksonTester and verify the output −
{ "id" : 1, "systemId" : "1ab", "rollNo" : 11, "nameObj" : { "name" : "Mark" } }
Example - Serialization with Mixin Annotation
JacksonTester.java
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreType; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; public class JacksonTester { public static void main(String args[]) { try { Student student = new Student(1,11,"1ab","Mark"); ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); mapper.addMixIn(Name.class, MixInForIgnoreType.class); String jsonString = mapper .writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter() .writeValueAsString(student); System.out.println(jsonString); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } class Student { public int id; public String systemId; public int rollNo; public Name nameObj; Student(int id, int rollNo, String systemId, String name) { this.id = id; this.systemId = systemId; this.rollNo = rollNo; nameObj = new Name(name); } } class Name { public String name; Name(String name){ this.name = name; } } @JsonIgnoreType class MixInForIgnoreType {}
Output
Run the JacksonTester and verify the output −
{ "id" : 1, "systemId" : "1ab", "rollNo" : 11 }
Here we can see, using addMixin() method, we're able to apply annotations without modify the original class.
