java - Ignoring new fields on JSON objects using Jackson

Question

This question already has answers here:

Answer 1

Jackson provides an annotation that can be used on class level (JsonIgnoreProperties).

Add the following to the top of your class (not to individual methods):

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Foo {
    ...
}

Depending on the jackson version you are using you would have to use a different import in the current version it is:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;

in older versions it has been:

import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnoreProperties;
