Exclude null properties from Spring Boot Rest controllers

Question

I have a rest service exposed using spring boot rest controller but with the response i'm sending object's properties those has null values.

For ex : ReponseEntity.ok(list) and that list consist of Objects A with lot of null properties.

Is there an easy way of excluding those null properties with spring boot tools?

Try using the jackson library and annotate your class with `@JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)` — k9yosh, May 04 '21 at 09:02

You can try this in application.properties file

spring.jackson.default-property-inclusion=non_null

or you can try following annotation in class level or property level

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
