How to parse a JSON string into JsonNode in Jackson?

Question

It should be so simple, but I just cannot find it after being trying for an hour #embarrasing.

I need to get a JSON string, for example, {\"k1\":v1,\"k2\":v2}<

Answer 1

A third variant:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode actualObj = mapper.readValue("{\"k1\":\"v1\"}", JsonNode.class);
