How to get the underlying String from a JsonParser (Jackson Json)

Question

Looking through the documentation and source code I don\'t see a clear way to do this. Curious if I\'m missing something.

Say I receive an InputStream from a server resp

5 year late, but this was my solution:

I converted the jsonParser to string

String requestString = jsonParser.readValueAsTree().toString();

Then I converted that string into a JsonParser

JsonFactory factory = new JsonFactory();
JsonParser parser  = factory.createParser(requestString);

Then I iterated through my parser

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
while(!parser.isClosed()){
    JsonToken jsonToken = parser.nextToken();
    if(JsonToken.FIELD_NAME.equals(jsonToken)){
        String currentName = parser.getCurrentName();
        parser.nextToken();
        switch (currentName) {
            case "someObject":
                Object someObject = objectMapper.readValue(parser, Object.class)
                //validate someObject
                break;
        }
 }

I needed to save the original json string for logging purposes, which is why I did this in the first place. Was a headache to find out, but finally did it and I hope i'm helping someone out :)
