Importance of the Jackson @JsonInclude annotation in Java?
The Jackson @JsonInclude annotation can be used to exclude the properties or fields of a class under certain conditions and it can be defined using the JsonInclude.Include enum. The JsonInclude.Include enum contains few constants like "ALWAYS", "NON_DEFAULT", "NON_EMPTY" and "NON_NULL" to determine whether to exclude the property(field) or not.
Syntax
public static enum JsonInclude.Include extends Enum<JSonInclude.Include>
Example
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*; import java.io.*; public class JsonIncludeTest { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper(); Employee emp = new Employee(); String jsonString = objectMapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(emp); System.out.println(jsonString); } } // Employee class @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY) class Employee { public int empId = 115; public String empName = null; @Override public String toString() { return "Employee{" + "empId=" + empId + ", empName='" + empName + '\'' + '}'; } }
Output
{ "empId" : 115 }
