UnrecognizedPropertyException from Jackson library

Question

I have JSON paylaod as below:

{
  "status": "ok",
  "result": {
    "result": [
      {
        "product_id": "1420-131617-82",
        "sku": "1420-131617",
        "display_sku": "8DD 355 100-411",
        "genart_number": 82,
        "name": "Bremsscheibe",
        "description": null,
        "additional_info_text": null,
        "product_url": "https://www.autoteile5000.de/product/1420-131617-82",
        "image_url": "https://static.autoteile5000.de/product-images/HLP/4625-462502682-3-255-1548045462267.jpg",
        "brand": "HELLA PAGID",
        "eans": [
          "4082300365078"
        ],
        "manufacturer_product_number": "8DD 355 100-411",
        "data_supplier_number": "4625",
        "pricehammer": false,
        "buyable": true,
        "bulky_good": false,
        "risky_good": false,
        "hazardous_good": false,
        "car_specific": true,
        "has_deposit": false,
        "is_exchange_part": false,
        "visibility_status": "active",
        "deleted": false
      }
    ]
  }
}

This is method how I deserialise it:

public List<SimpleProductDto> getProducts(ProductForm productForm) {

    JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();
    try (InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("data/product/2210-0929-818/product.json") ) {
        String text = IOUtils.toString(inputStream, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name());
        //System.out.println("print text : " + text);
        //Read JSON file
        JsonObject objectFromString = jsonParser.parse(text).getAsJsonObject();
       // System.out.println(objectFromString.toString());

        JsonObject objectFromString1 = objectFromString.getAsJsonObject("result");
       // System.out.println(objectFromString.toString());

       // System.out.println(objectFromString1.toString());

        JsonArray jsonArray = objectFromString1.getAsJsonArray("result");
        System.out.println("printing json array : " +jsonArray.toString());

        ObjectMapper oMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        for(JsonElement element : jsonArray){
            JsonObject productObj = element.getAsJsonObject();
            System.out.println("printing json object : " + productObj.toString());
            SimpleproductDtoMapper productDtoList = oMapper.readValue(productObj.toString(), SimpleproductDtoMapper.class);
        }
      // List<SimpleproductDtoMapper> productDtoList = oMapper.readValue(jsonArray.toString(), new TypeReference<List<SimpleproductDtoMapper>>() {});

       // Map<String, SimpleproductDtoMapper> items = productDtoList.stream().collect(Collectors.toMap(SimpleproductDtoMapper::getProductId, Function.identity()));

        //items.forEach((k, v) -> System.out.println("Item : " + k + " Count : " + v));

        //Iterate over employee array
        //productList.forEach(emp -> parseProductObject((JSONObject) emp));

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

This is my POJO:

public class SimpleproductDtoMapper {

@SerializedName("product_id")
private String productId;
private String sku;
@SerializedName("display_sku")
private String displaySku;
@SerializedName("genart_number")
private Integer genartNumber;
private String name;
private String description;
@SerializedName("additional_info_text")
private String additionalInfoText;
@SerializedName("product_url")
private String productUrl;
@SerializedName("image_url")
private String imageUrl;
private String brand;
private List<String> eans;
@SerializedName("manufacturer_product_number")
private String manufacturerProductNumber;
@SerializedName("data_supplier_number")
private String dataSupplierNumber;
private boolean pricehammer;
private boolean buyable;
@SerializedName("bulky_good")
private boolean bulkyGood;
@SerializedName("risky_good")
private boolean riskyGood;
@SerializedName("hazardous_good")
private boolean hazardousGood;
@SerializedName("car_specific")
private boolean carSpecific;
@SerializedName("has_deposit")
private boolean hasDeposit;
@SerializedName("is_exchange_part")
private boolean isExchangePart;
@SerializedName("visibility_status")
private VisibilityStatusDto visibilityStatus;
@SerializedName("deleted")
private boolean deleted;
}

I get the folllowing exception:

Because @SerializedName is from Gson but not Jackson .The equivalent in Jackson is @JsonProperty.

So change all @SerializedName to @JsonProperty. Also , Jackson by default only deserialize the public fields if it does not marked with @JsonProperty.

So for you , I suggest that the simplest way is to make sure all fields are marked with @JsonProperty (e.g. name, brand etc.)

Using jsonschema2pojo you can generate POJO class with Jackson annotations. Choose Jackson 2.x to generate model with Jackson annotations. Source type should be JSON. Below you can see Product class I have generated using this tool. all properties are public, so change them to private and generate getters and setters.

class Product {

    @JsonProperty("product_id")
    public String productId;
    @JsonProperty("sku")
    public String sku;
    @JsonProperty("display_sku")
    public String displaySku;
    @JsonProperty("genart_number")
    public Integer genartNumber;
    @JsonProperty("name")
    public String name;
    @JsonProperty("description")
    public Object description;
    @JsonProperty("additional_info_text")
    public Object additionalInfoText;
    @JsonProperty("product_url")
    public String productUrl;
    @JsonProperty("image_url")
    public String imageUrl;
    @JsonProperty("brand")
    public String brand;
    @JsonProperty("eans")
    public List<String> eans = null;
    @JsonProperty("manufacturer_product_number")
    public String manufacturerProductNumber;
    @JsonProperty("data_supplier_number")
    public String dataSupplierNumber;
    @JsonProperty("pricehammer")
    public Boolean pricehammer;
    @JsonProperty("buyable")
    public Boolean buyable;
    @JsonProperty("bulky_good")
    public Boolean bulkyGood;
    @JsonProperty("risky_good")
    public Boolean riskyGood;
    @JsonProperty("hazardous_good")
    public Boolean hazardousGood;
    @JsonProperty("car_specific")
    public Boolean carSpecific;
    @JsonProperty("has_deposit")
    public Boolean hasDeposit;
    @JsonProperty("is_exchange_part")
    public Boolean isExchangePart;
    @JsonProperty("visibility_status")
    public String visibilityStatus;
    @JsonProperty("deleted")
    public Boolean deleted;

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Product{" +
                "productId='" + productId + '\'' +
                ", sku='" + sku + '\'' +
                ", displaySku='" + displaySku + '\'' +
                ", genartNumber=" + genartNumber +
                ", name='" + name + '\'' +
                ", description=" + description +
                ", additionalInfoText=" + additionalInfoText +
                ", productUrl='" + productUrl + '\'' +
                ", imageUrl='" + imageUrl + '\'' +
                ", brand='" + brand + '\'' +
                ", eans=" + eans +
                ", manufacturerProductNumber='" + manufacturerProductNumber + '\'' +
                ", dataSupplierNumber='" + dataSupplierNumber + '\'' +
                ", pricehammer=" + pricehammer +
                ", buyable=" + buyable +
                ", bulkyGood=" + bulkyGood +
                ", riskyGood=" + riskyGood +
                ", hazardousGood=" + hazardousGood +
                ", carSpecific=" + carSpecific +
                ", hasDeposit=" + hasDeposit +
                ", isExchangePart=" + isExchangePart +
                ", visibilityStatus='" + visibilityStatus + '\'' +
                ", deleted=" + deleted +
                '}';
    }
}

I noticed you wanted to skip result(Object) -> result(Array) levels. See how to do that with Jackson:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.CollectionType;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.List;

public class JsonApp {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        File jsonFile = new File("./resource/test.json").getAbsoluteFile();

        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        mapper.enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT);

        JsonNode jsonNode = mapper
                .reader()
                .at("/result/result")
                .readTree(new FileInputStream(jsonFile));

        CollectionType productsType = mapper.getTypeFactory().constructCollectionType(List.class, Product.class);
        List<Product> products = mapper.convertValue(jsonNode, productsType);
        System.out.println(products);
    }
}

Above code prints:

[Product{productId='1420-131617-82', sku='1420-131617', displaySku='8DD 355 100-411', genartNumber=82, name='Bremsscheibe', description=null, additionalInfoText=null, productUrl='https://www.autoteile5000.de/product/1420-131617-82', imageUrl='https://static.autoteile5000.de/product-images/HLP/4625-462502682-3-255-1548045462267.jpg', brand='HELLA PAGID', eans=[4082300365078], manufacturerProductNumber='8DD 355 100-411', dataSupplierNumber='4625', pricehammer=false, buyable=true, bulkyGood=false, riskyGood=false, hazardousGood=false, carSpecific=true, hasDeposit=false, isExchangePart=false, visibilityStatus='active', deleted=false}]

Thanks for your reply .. but private VisibilityStatusDto visibilityStatus is an object and @JsonProperty("visibility_status") doesn't work for Object ? — Vinaya Nayak, Feb 28 '19 at 09:37
@VinayaNayak, in your `JSON` payload `"visibility_status": "active"` is a `string` not `object`. Does this `JSON` is correct? If yes, update your model. — Michał Ziober, Feb 28 '19 at 09:42
`public enum VisibilityStatusDto { ACTIVE(1), INACTIVE(2); private Integer id; private VisibilityStatusDto(Integer id) { this.id = id; } public Integer getId() { return this.id; } }` Its an Enum but json payload from other service is sending it as string. How can I map this string to enum type in mu model? — Vinaya Nayak, Feb 28 '19 at 09:46
Take a look on this [question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12468764/jackson-enum-serializing-and-deserializer). Let me know what is the result. — Michał Ziober, Feb 28 '19 at 10:05
Also take a look on this [question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31689107/deserializing-an-enum-with-jackson/31689416). It looks like you need to annotate your `enum`. — Michał Ziober, Feb 28 '19 at 12:28
