Usage of Jackson @JsonProperty annotation for kotlin data classes

Question

kotlin 1.2.10 jackson-module-kotlin:2.9.0

I have the following data class in kotlin:

data class CurrencyInfo(
        @JsonProperty(\"currency_info\"         


        

Answer 1

@JsonProperty annotations in your code are all put on private fields within your data class and by default Jackson doesn't scan private fields for annotations. You have to instruct it to do otherwise by putting @JsonAutoDetect annotation:

@JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility = Visibility.ANY)
data class CurrencyInfo(
    @JsonProperty("currency_info") var currencyInfo: CurrencyInfoItem?
)

or alternatively you can move your annotations on accessor methods:

data class CurrencyInfo(
    @get:JsonProperty("currency_info") var currencyInfo: CurrencyInfoItem?
)
