How to parse that JSON:

I have found, that this feature is not implemented in Jackson yet, see issue.

As a workaround, method below can be added into Foo class:

@JsonProperty("foo")
public void setFoo(JsonNode jsonNode) {
    this.qux = jsonNode.get("qux").getTextValue();
    this.baz = jsonNode.get("bar").get("baz").getTextValue();
}
