@Target(value=TYPE) @Retention(value=RUNTIME) public @interface JsonTypeInfo
Annotation used for configuring details of if and how type information is used with JSON serialization and deserialization, to preserve information about actual class of Object instances. This is necessarily for polymorphic types, and may also be needed to link abstract declared types and matching concrete implementation.
Some examples of typical annotations:
// Include Java class name ("com.myempl.ImplClass") as JSON property "class" \@JsonTypeInfo(use=Id.CLASS, include=As.PROPERTY, property="class") // Include logical type name (defined in impl classes) as wrapper; 2 annotations \@JsonTypeInfo(use=Id.NAME, include=As.WRAPPER_OBJECT) \@JsonSubTypes({com.myemp.Impl1.class, com.myempl.Impl2.class})Alternatively you can also define fully customized type handling by using
JsonTypeResolver
annotation.

What mechanism is used for including type metadata (if any; for JsonTypeInfo.Id.NONE nothing is included). |

public abstract JsonTypeInfo.Id use
public abstract JsonTypeInfo.As include
JsonTypeInfo.Id.NONE
nothing is included). Default
Note that for type metadata type of JsonTypeInfo.Id.CUSTOM
,
this setting may or may not have any effect.
public abstract String property
JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY
) is used
(or possibly when using type metadata of type JsonTypeInfo.Id.CUSTOM
).
Default property name used if this property is not explicitly defined
(or is set to empty String) is based on
type metadata type (use()
) used.
