Read embedded object in Jackson

Question

I\'m trying to read a legacy JSON code using Jackson 2.0-RC3, however I\'m stuck with an \"embedded\" object.

Given a following JSON:

{
    \"title\"         


        

Answer 1

To deal with an "embedded" object you should use @JsonUnwrapped — it's an equivalent of the Hibernate's @Embeddable/@Embedded.

class Item {
    private String title;

    @JsonProperty("date")
    private Date createdAt;

    // How to map this?
    @JsonUnwrapped
    private Author author;
}
