Class ObjectMapper

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.fasterxml.jackson.core.ObjectCodec
      extended by com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper
All Implemented Interfaces:
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned

public class ObjectMapper
extends com.fasterxml.jackson.core.ObjectCodec
implements com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned

This mapper (or, data binder, or codec) provides functionality for converting between Java objects (instances of JDK provided core classes, beans), and matching JSON constructs. It will use instances of JsonParser and JsonGenerator for implementing actual reading/writing of JSON.

The main conversion API is defined in ObjectCodec, so that implementation details of this class need not be exposed to streaming parser and generator classes.

Note on caching: root-level deserializers are always cached, and accessed using full (generics-aware) type information. This is different from caching of referenced types, which is more limited and is done only for a subset of all deserializer types. The main reason for difference is that at root-level there is no incoming reference (and hence no referencing property, no referral information or annotations to produce differing deserializers), and that the performance impact greatest at root level (since it'll essentially cache the full graph of deserializers involved).

Field Detail

DEFAULT_INTROSPECTOR

protected static final ClassIntrospector DEFAULT_INTROSPECTOR

DEFAULT_ANNOTATION_INTROSPECTOR

protected static final AnnotationIntrospector DEFAULT_ANNOTATION_INTROSPECTOR

STD_VISIBILITY_CHECKER

protected static final VisibilityChecker<?> STD_VISIBILITY_CHECKER

DEFAULT_BASE

protected static final BaseSettings DEFAULT_BASE
Base settings contain defaults used for all ObjectMapper instances.


_jsonFactory

protected final com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonFactory _jsonFactory
Factory used to create JsonParser and JsonGenerator instances as necessary.


_typeFactory

protected TypeFactory _typeFactory
Specific factory used for creating JavaType instances; needed to allow modules to add more custom type handling (mostly to support types of non-Java JVM languages)


_injectableValues

protected InjectableValues _injectableValues
Provider for values to inject in deserialized POJOs.


_subtypeResolver

protected SubtypeResolver _subtypeResolver
Thing used for registering sub-types, resolving them to super/sub-types as needed.


_rootNames

protected final RootNameLookup _rootNames
Cache for root names used when root-wrapping is enabled.


_mixInAnnotations

protected final HashMap<ClassKey,Class<?>> _mixInAnnotations
Mapping that defines how to apply mix-in annotations: key is the type to received additional annotations, and value is the type that has annotations to "mix in".

Annotations associated with the value classes will be used to override annotations of the key class, associated with the same field or method. They can be further masked by sub-classes: you can think of it as injecting annotations between the target class and its sub-classes (or interfaces)


_serializationConfig

protected SerializationConfig _serializationConfig
Configuration object that defines basic global settings for the serialization process


_serializerProvider

protected DefaultSerializerProvider _serializerProvider
Object that manages access to serializers used for serialization, including caching. It is configured with _serializerFactory to allow for constructing custom serializers.

Note: while serializers are only exposed SerializerProvider, mappers and readers need to access additional API defined by DefaultSerializerProvider


_serializerFactory

protected SerializerFactory _serializerFactory
Serializer factory used for constructing serializers.


_deserializationConfig

protected DeserializationConfig _deserializationConfig
Configuration object that defines basic global settings for the serialization process


_deserializationContext

protected DefaultDeserializationContext _deserializationContext
Blueprint context object; stored here to allow custom sub-classes. Contains references to objects needed for deserialization construction (cache, factory).


_rootDeserializers

protected final ConcurrentHashMap<JavaType,JsonDeserializer<Object>> _rootDeserializers
We will use a separate main-level Map for keeping track of root-level deserializers. This is where most succesful cache lookups get resolved. Map will contain resolvers for all kinds of types, including container types: this is different from the component cache which will only cache bean deserializers.

Given that we don't expect much concurrency for additions (should very quickly converge to zero after startup), let's explicitly define a low concurrency setting.

Since version 1.5, these may are either "raw" deserializers (when no type information is needed for base type), or type-wrapped deserializers (if it is needed)

Constructs instance that uses specified JsonFactory for constructing necessary JsonParsers and/or JsonGenerators, and uses given providers for accessing serializers and deserializers.

Parameters:

setMixInAnnotations

public final void setMixInAnnotations(Map<Class<?>,Class<?>> sourceMixins)
Method to use for defining mix-in annotations to use for augmenting annotations that processable (serializable / deserializable) classes have. Mixing in is done when introspecting class annotations and properties. Map passed contains keys that are target classes (ones to augment with new annotation overrides), and values that are source classes (have annotations to use for augmentation). Annotations from source classes (and their supertypes) will override annotations that target classes (and their super-types) have.


addMixInAnnotations

public final void addMixInAnnotations(Class<?> target,
                                      Class<?> mixinSource)
Method to use for adding mix-in annotations to use for augmenting specified class or interface. All annotations from mixinSource are taken to override annotations that target (or its supertypes) has.

Parameters:
target - Class (or interface) whose annotations to effectively override
mixinSource - Class (or interface) whose annotations are to be "added" to target's annotations, overriding as necessary

Convenience method that allows changing configuration for underlying VisibilityCheckers, to change details of what kinds of properties are auto-detected. Basically short cut for doing:
  mapper.setVisibilityChecker(
     mapper.getVisibilityChecker().withVisibility(forMethod, visibility)
  );
one common use case would be to do:
  mapper.setVisibility(JsonMethod.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
which would make all member fields serializable without further annotations, instead of just public fields (default setting).

Parameters:
forMethod - Type of property descriptor affected (field, getter/isGetter, setter, creator)

Returns:
Modified mapper instance (that is, "this"), to allow chaining of configuration calls

setDateFormat

public ObjectMapper setDateFormat(DateFormat dateFormat)
Method for configuring the default DateFormat to use when serializing time values as Strings, and deserializing from JSON Strings. This is preferably to directly modifying SerializationConfig and DeserializationConfig instances. If you need per-request configuration, use writer(DateFormat) to create properly configured ObjectWriter and use that; this because ObjectWriters are thread-safe whereas ObjectMapper itself is only thread-safe when configuring methods (such as this one) are NOT called.

               throws IllegalArgumentException
Convenience method for doing two-step conversion from given value, into instance of given value type. This is functionality equivalent to first serializing given value into JSON, then binding JSON data into value of given type, but may be executed without fully serializing into JSON. Same converters (serializers, deserializers) will be used as for data binding, meaning same object mapper configuration works.

Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If conversion fails due to incompatible type; if so, root cause will contain underlying checked exception data binding functionality threw

                          JavaType toValueType)

Actual conversion implementation: instead of using existing read and write methods, much of code is inlined. Reason for this is that we must avoid wrapping/unwrapping both for efficiency and for correctness. If wrapping/unwrapping is actually desired, caller must use explicit writeValue and readValue methods.

Throws:
