Return some object in my Json

Question

My userController.java:

@RestController
public class UserController {

    private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger         


        

Answer 1

You could use @JsonView to control what is rendered. You can find more details in this Spring blog post https://spring.io/blog/2014/12/02/latest-jackson-integration-improvements-in-spring

Assuming you have this View class with interface Summary

public class View {
    interface Summary {}
}

You could then annotate your properties like so:

@JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private String name;

@JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private String firstname;

And then your request mapping:

@JsonView(View.Summary.class)
@RequestMapping(value = "/user", method = RequestMethod.GET)

This would only return name and firstname in the resulting JSON.
