Map Nested JSON Objects to Java Classes with Spring RestTemplate

问题

I know this may be simple. However, I just can't get it to work.

So I am trying to use Spring RestTemplate to map my JSON data. I have following JSON response from a rest call.

{
  "message":"ok",
  "status":"ok",
  "data":[
      {"Name":"Yo",
       "Address":"100 Test Rd"},
      {...},
      {...}
   ]
}

And here is the class I am trying to map it to.

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Response implements Serializable {

  private String message;
  private String status;
  private List<Data> data;

  // I could also use a array instead
  // private Data[] data;
}

Here is my Data class:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Data implements Serializable {

  private String Name;
  private String Address;
}

Here is the code I used to call RestTemplate:

public Reponse getResponse() {
    ResponseEntity<Reponse> responseEntity = restTemplate.getForEntity(Url, Reponse.class);

    return responseEntity.getBody();
}

Now here comes the problem. I was able to get "message" and "status", But when I try to log/print data, it shows null. Not exactly sure what's going on here. I really could use some help. Thanks.

I was having a similar issue with RestTemplate not mapping nested JSON objects to my class model also, after much frustration I decided to retrieve my JSON as a String(instead of converting directly to my target object) using RestTemplate and then use the google Gson library to convert my String to my target entity.

pom.xml

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
        <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.4</version>
    </dependency>

code to call RestTemplate:

 ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = restTemplate.getForEntity(Url,String.class);
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
Response reponse = gson.fromJson(responseEntity , Response.class);

Unfortunately I was unable to find out why my nested objects were not mapped using RestTemplate the first place but I hope this workaround helps!

回答2:

I had a similar issue when reading Json data from REST API using Rest Template. To resolve declare getters and setters for the List:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Response implements Serializable {

  private String message;
  private String status;
  private List<Data> data;

 // getters and Setters for the list. 


}

The RestTemplate will internally map the values from the listarray to the corresponding array.

Annotate property "data" with @JsonUnwrapped as below

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Response implements Serializable {
    private String message;
    private String status;
    @JsonUnwrapped
    private List<Data> data;
}

回答4:

I ran into the same issue. Annotate with @JsonProperty:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Data implements Serializable {

    @JsonProperty("Name")
    private String name;

    @JsonProperty("Address")
    private String address;

    // getters / setters for name and address

}

The fields of your Data class should now get populated, and you can name your fields independent of the JSON representation (e.g. name instead of Name).

回答5:

I know this is an old thread.

But for anyone having the same problem, you can use MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter for this purpose with Jackson.

Please refer the answer given in this thread.

回答6:

Please use private List<Data> data = new AllarList<Data>( ); and please provide getters( ) and setters( ) methods in both the classes.

Put @JsonInclude(Include.NON_EMPTY) above Data class

Please add below dependencies under section at your main POM.xml file and do maven compile. Then I guess your issue will get resolved.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.3</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.3</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-datatype-joda</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.1</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
            <version>1.8.8</version>
        </dependency>

If you need only print data, you can do this

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.getForEntity(
    "your url",
    String.class);

System.out.println(response);
