Converting JSON data to Java object

Question

I want to be able to access properties from a JSON string within my Java action method. The string is available by simply saying myJsonString = object.getJson()

Answer 1

The easiest way is that you can use this softconvertvalue method which is a custom method in which you can convert jsonData into your specific Dto class.

Dto response = softConvertValue(jsonData, Dto.class);


public static  T softConvertValue(Object fromValue, Class toValueType) 
{
    ObjectMapper objMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    return objMapper
        .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)
        .convertValue(fromValue, toValueType);
}
