In computing, Jackson is a high-performance JSON processor for Java. Its developers extol the combination of fast, correct, lightweight, and ergonomic attributes of the library. [1] [2]

Implementation

Jackson provides multiple approaches to working with JSON, including using binding annotations on POJO classes for simple use cases. [3] [1]

Usage example

Sample code for reading and writing with POJOs may look like the following: [1] 

packageorg.wikipedia.examples;importjava.io.IOException;importcom.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;recordPerson(intid,StringfirstName,StringlastName){}publicclassReadWriteJackson{publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args)throwsIOException{ObjectMappermapper=newObjectMapper();StringjsonInput="{\"id\":0,\"firstName\":\"Robin\",\"lastName\":\"Wilson\"}";Personq=mapper.readValue(jsonInput,Person.class);System.out.printf("Read and parsed Person from JSON: %s%n",q);Personp=newPerson(1,"Roger","Rabbit");System.out.printf("Person object %s as JSON =%n",p);mapper.writeValue(System.out,p);}}
