Jackson: Property can be raw, arbitrary object or POJO
Let's say I use Jackson to serialize and deserialize POJOs. I have a number of classes like this:
class Foo {
String field1;
Bar field2;
// ...
Baz baz;
}
Where baz
is a large JSON object that I receive from an external system. I want to use Foo
in three different ways:
- Serialize
Foo
and includebaz
without even bothering to parse it, as if I had declared it as@JsonRawValue String baz
. - Pretty-print
Foo
and includebaz
just like I received it except pretty-printed, as if I had declared it asMap<String, Object> baz
. - Pass
Foo
to my business logic, withbaz
deserialized to a POJO, as in the code above.
One way to do this would be to declare three classes, with the baz
field declared in three different ways. I could also combine 2) and 3) into a single class with @JsonAnySetter
and @JsonAnyGetter
to capture any properties I don't recognize.
But is there a clean way to support all the three use cases above while declaring just a single Foo
class?
