Best way to map json to a Java object

Question

I\'m using restTemplate to make a rquest to a servlet that returns a very simple representation of an object in json.

{
     \"id\":\"SomeID\"
     \"name\":         


        

Answer 1

Personally I would recommend Jackson. Its fairly lightweight, very fast and requires very little configuration. Here's an example of deserializing:

@XmlRootElement
public class MyBean {
    private String id;
    private String name;

    public MyBean() {
        super();
    }

    // Getters/Setters
}


String json = "...";
MyBean bean = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, MyBean.class);
