Jackson deserialize ISO8601 formatted date-time into Java8 Instant

Question

I\'m trying to deserialize an ISO8601 formatted date into Java8 java.time.Instant using Jackson. I registered JavaTimeModule with the ObjectMapper, and turned off t

Answer 1

In Jackson 2.9.8 (current one as I'm writing this) it's better to use Instant instead of Date.

You have to add a dependency:

    com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype
    jackson-datatype-jsr310
    2.9.8
 

Also, register the module and configure SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS to false.

new ObjectMapper()
                .findAndRegisterModules()
                .configure(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS, false);
