Immutable Lombok annotated class with Jackson

Question

What is the preferred way to create class that is

• Immutable
• Can be serialized/deserialized with Jackson
• Human-readable and with low level of

Answer 1

Another alternative that is much less verbose:

@Data
@Setter(AccessLevel.NONE)
public class Clazz {
    private String field;
} 

Of course, you could still have some private method that modifies the field directly, but it would be very unlikely to even have any actual code in a @Data POJO, so this would hopefully not happen.

Disclaimer: This will have the side-effect (perhaps beneficial) of not letting regular Java code create the object since there is only a default constructor with no mutators. To allow for normal construction you will need 2 more annotations:

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
@Setter(AccessLevel.NONE)
public class Clazz {
    private String field;
}
