Jackson renames primitive boolean field by removing 'is'

Question

This might be a duplicate. But I cannot find a solution to my Problem.

I have a class

public class MyResponse implements Serializable {

    private          


        

Answer 1

Building upon Utkarsh's answer..

Getter names minus get/is is used as the JSON name.

public class Example{
    private String radcliffe; 

    public getHarryPotter(){
        return radcliffe; 
    }
}

is stored as { "harryPotter" : "whateverYouGaveHere" }

For Deserialization, Jackson checks against both the setter and the field name. For the Json String { "word1" : "example" }, both the below are valid.

public class Example{
    private String word1; 

    public setword2( String pqr){
        this.word1 = pqr; 
    }
}

public class Example2{
    private String word2; 

    public setWord1(String pqr){
        this.word2 = pqr ; 
    }
}

A more interesting question is which order Jackson considers for deserialization. If i try to deserialize { "word1" : "myName" } with

public class Example3{
    private String word1;
    private String word2; 

    public setWord1( String parameter){
        this.word2 = parameter ; 
    }
}

I did not test the above case, but it would be interesting to see the values of word1 & word2 ...

Note: I used drastically different names to emphasize which fields are required to be same.
