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}<

New approach to old question. A solution that works from java 9+

ObjectNode agencyNode = new ObjectMapper().valueToTree(Map.of("key", "value"));

is more readable and maintainable for complex objects. Ej

Map agencyMap = Map.of(
        "name", "Agencia Prueba",
        "phone1", "1198788373",
        "address", "Larrea 45 e/ calligaris y paris",
        "number", 267,
        "enable", true,
        "location", Map.of("id", 54),
        "responsible", Set.of(Map.of("id", 405)),
        "sellers", List.of(Map.of("id", 605))
);
ObjectNode agencyNode = new ObjectMapper().valueToTree(agencyMap);
