You can solve this problem by configuring the mapper, as described by the @Nicolas Riousset.

In addition, since version Jackson 2.9 you can do the same using annotation @JsonFormat(with = JsonFormat.Feature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PROPERTIES) over a field or class, which is a more flexible option.

@JsonFormat(with = JsonFormat.Feature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PROPERTIES)
private String firstName;
