How to rename JSON properties using Jackson annotations?


In this example you will know how to ignore json property using @JsonIgnore jackson annotation. If you annotate any property with @JsonIgnore annotation, it will be ignored at runtime.

Note: Refer How to convert Java object to JSON string? page for dependent libraries.

package com.java2novice.json.models;

import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonProperty;

public class Employee {

	@JsonProperty("emp_id")
	private int empId;
	
	@JsonProperty("emp_name")
	private String name;
	
	@JsonProperty("emp_designation")
	private String designation;
	
	private String department;
	
	private int salary;
	
	public String toString(){
		StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
		sb.append("************************************");
		sb.append("\nempId: ").append(empId);
		sb.append("\nname: ").append(name);
		sb.append("\ndesignation: ").append(designation);
		sb.append("\ndepartment: ").append(department);
		sb.append("\nsalary: ").append(salary);
		sb.append("\n************************************");
		return sb.toString();
	}
	
	public int getEmpId() {
		return empId;
	}
	public void setEmpId(int empId) {
		this.empId = empId;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	public String getDesignation() {
		return designation;
	}
	public void setDesignation(String designation) {
		this.designation = designation;
	}
	public String getDepartment() {
		return department;
	}
	public void setDepartment(String department) {
		this.department = department;
	}
	public int getSalary() {
		return salary;
	}
	public void setSalary(int salary) {
		this.salary = salary;
	}
}

Here is the example which reads json string value from a file, maps it to the object and converts the object back to the json string format.

package com.java2novice.json.examples;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;

import com.java2novice.json.models.Employee;

public class JsonToObject {
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
		try {
			// reading json input from the file and mapping to object
			File jsonInputFile = new File("C:\\jsonInput.txt");
			Employee emp = mapper.readValue(jsonInputFile, Employee.class);
			System.out.println(emp);
			// converting object to string value
			String jsonStr 
					= mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(emp);
			System.out.println(jsonStr);
			
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

jsonInput.txt content:

{
    "emp_id": 1017,
    "emp_name": "Nagesh Y",
    "emp_designation": "Manager",
    "department": "Java2Novice",
    "salary": 30000
}

Output:
************************************
empId: 1017
name: Nagesh Y
designation: Manager
department: Java2Novice
salary: 30000
************************************

{
  "department" : "Java2Novice",
  "salary" : 30000,
  "emp_id" : 1017,
  "emp_name" : "Nagesh Y",
  "emp_designation" : "Manager"
}

What is wrapper class?
Everything in java is an object, except primitives. Primitives are int, short, long, boolean, etc. Since they are not objects, they cannot return as objects, and collection of objects. To support this, java provides wrapper classes to move primitives to objects. Some of the wrapper classes are Integer, Long, Boolean, etc.
