Spring Boot LocalDate field serialization and deserialization

Question

On spring boot 1.2.3.RELEASE with fasterxml what is the correct way of serializing and de-serializing a LocalDate field to iso date formatted string?

I\'ve tried:

Answer 1

Actually, it works if you just specify the dependency in the pom.xml.

With this, all my LocalDate fields automatically use the ISO format, no need to annotate them:

    com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype
    jackson-datatype-jsr310

Tested on Spring Boot 1.5.7.
