Jackson - Recursive parsing into Map

Question

I\'m trying to simplify my code: I want to store key and values (all strings).

I\'m actually using a Map to store it. hat way

Answer 1

Assuming that your end goal is just to deserialize JSON into a Map<String, Object>, there is a far simpler way to do this with Jackson. Using ObjectMapper:

final String json = "{}";
final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
final MapType type = mapper.getTypeFactory().constructMapType(
    Map.class, String.class, Object.class);
final Map<String, Object> data = mapper.readValue(json, type);

You will need error handling etc, but this is a good starting point.
