Jackson multiple objects and huge json files

Question

I get the feeling that the answer might be a duplicate of this: Jackson - Json to POJO With Multiple Entries but I think that potentially the question is different enough. Also

Answer 1

You don't have to choose between Streaming (JsonParser) and ObjectMapper, do both! Traverse a bit with parser, but then call JsonParser.readValueAs(MyType.class) to bind individual JSON Object.

Or, call ObjectMapper's readValue() method passing JsonParser at appropriate points. Or use ObjectMapper.reader(Type.class).readValues() and iterate that way.
