How to specify jackson to only use fields - preferably globally

Question

Default jackon behaviour seems to use both properties (getters and setters) and fields to serialize and deserialize to json.

I would like to use the fields as the ca

How about this: I used it with a mixin

non-compliant object

@Entity
@Getter
@NoArgsConstructor
public class Telemetry {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long pk;
    private String id;
    private String organizationId;
    private String baseType;
    private String name;
    private Double lat;
    private Double lon;
    private Instant updateTimestamp;
}

Mixin:

@JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility = ANY, getterVisibility = NONE, setterVisibility = NONE)
public static class TelemetryMixin {}

Usage:

    ObjectMapper om = objectMapper.addMixIn(Telemetry.class, TelemetryMixin.class);
    Telemetry[] telemetries = om.readValue(someJson, Telemetry[].class);

There is nothing that says you couldn't foreach any number of classes and apply the same mixin.

If you're not familiar with mixins, they are conceptually simply: The structure of the mixin is super imposed on the target class (according to jackson, not as far as the JVM is concerned).
