What's the Jackson deserialization equivalent of @JsonUnwrapped?

Question

Say I have the following class:

public class Parent {
  public int age;
  @JsonUnwrapped
  public Name name;
}

Producing JSON:

Answer 1

You can use @JsonCreator with @JsonProperty for each field:

@JsonCreator
public Parent(@JsonProperty("age") Integer age, @JsonProperty("firstName") String firstName,
        @JsonProperty("lastName") String lastName) {
    this.age = age;
    this.name = new Name(firstName, lastName);
}

Jackson does type checking and unknown field checking for you in this case.
