Unable to parse a json field class using Jackson jar

Question

I have a json response :

"site":[  
               {  
                  "href":"https:www.abc.com",
                  "class":"child"
               }
]

I am trying to parse the response using the jackson jars in Java. I cant create a field class(as its a keyword) in my POJO to map this field. I tried class_ and _class but that returns org.codehaus.jackson.map.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "class" as it searches for the field class in my POJO Site.java How can such scenarios be handled?

Answer 1

Your property name in your POJO cannot be name "class", but you can specify to Jackson to use the property name "class" with the annotation.

@JsonProperty("class")
private String clazz;
