static Map<String,JsonNode>	asMap(JsonNode node) Return a map out of an object's members
static ObjectReader	getReader() Return a preconfigured ObjectReader to read JSON inputs
static ObjectMapper	newMapper() Return a preconfigured ObjectMapper
static JsonNodeFactory	nodeFactory() Return a preconfigured JsonNodeFactory to generate JSON data as JsonNodes
static String	prettyPrint(JsonNode node) Pretty print a JSON value

getReader

public static ObjectReader getReader()

Return a preconfigured ObjectReader to read JSON inputs

Returns:

the reader

nodeFactory

public static JsonNodeFactory nodeFactory()

Return a preconfigured JsonNodeFactory to generate JSON data as JsonNodes

Returns:

the factory

asMap

public static Map<String,JsonNode> asMap(JsonNode node)

Return a map out of an object's members

If the node given as an argument is not a map, an empty map is returned.

Parameters:

node - the node

newMapper

public static ObjectMapper newMapper()

Return a preconfigured ObjectMapper

The returned mapper will have the following features enabled:

• DeserializationFeature.USE_BIG_DECIMAL_FOR_FLOATS;
• SerializationFeature.WRITE_BIGDECIMAL_AS_PLAIN;
• SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT.

This returns a new instance each time.

Returns:

an ObjectMapper
