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

Assuming you have an array wrapping your objects, create a JsonParser and then call readValuesAs with the appropriate type. It gives you back an Iterator with all your objects that reads through the file as you consume the objects.
