In questa sezione capiremo come ignorare i campi null al momento della serializzazione di una classe Java utilizzando Jackson.

Possiamo ignorare i campi nulli a livello di classe, di campo o globalmente. Comprendiamo ciascuno di essi uno per uno.

Ignora i campi nulli a livello di classe

Per ignorare i campi nulli a livello di classe, utilizziamo il metodo @JsonInclude annotazione con include.NON_NULL . Facciamo un esempio per capire come possiamo utilizzare l'annotazione @JsonInclude per ignorare i campi null a livello di classe.

IgnoraNullFieldExample1.java

 //import required classes and package if any import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Scanner; import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonInclude; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; //create class IgnoreNullFieldExample1 to understand how we can ignore the null field on marshalling public class IgnoreNullFieldExample1 { //main() methods start public static void main(String args[]) { // create an instance of ObjectMapper class ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // create Scanner class object Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in); // using try-catch try { College colg; String name, university, street, state, city, rank; System.out.println('Enter College Name:'); name = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter University Name:'); university = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter Street:'); street = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter City:'); city = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter State:'); state = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter College Rank:'); rank = sc.nextLine(); // set values to College object by using constructor colg = new College(name, university, new Address(street, state, null), null); // serialize College using mapper String jsonString = mapper .writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter() .writeValueAsString(colg); System.out.println(jsonString); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } //close Scanner class object sc.close(); } } //create class College by using @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) class College { //Creating properties of College class public String name; public String university; public Address address; public String rank; // constructor College(String name, String university, Address address, String rank){ this.name = name; this.university = university; this.address = address; this.rank = rank; } } //create class Address @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) class Address { public String street; public String state; public String city; Address(String street, String state, String city){ this.street = street; this.state = state; this.city = city; } }

Ignora il campo nullo specifico

Qui usiamo @JsonInclude annotazione con include.NON_NULL a livello di campo per ignorare uno specifico campo nullo. Facciamo un esempio per capire come possiamo utilizzare l'annotazione @JsonInclude per ignorare uno specifico campo null.

IgnoraNullFieldExample2.java

 //import required classes and package if any import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Scanner; import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonInclude; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; //create class IgnoreNullFieldExample2 to understand how we can ignore specific null fields on marshalling public class IgnoreNullFieldExample2 { //main() methods start public static void main(String args[]) { // create an instance of ObjectMapper class ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // create Scanner class object Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in); // using try-catch try { College colg; String name, university, street, state, city, rank; System.out.println('Enter College Name:'); name = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter University Name:'); university = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter Street:'); street = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter City:'); city = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter State:'); state = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter College Rank:'); rank = sc.nextLine(); // set values to College object by using constructor colg = new College(name, university, new Address(street, state, city), null); // serialize College using mapper String jsonString = mapper .writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter() .writeValueAsString(colg); System.out.println(jsonString); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } //close Scanner class object sc.close(); } } //create class College by using @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) class College { //Creating properties of College class public String name; public String university; public Address address; @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) public String rank; // constructor College(String name, String university, Address address, String rank){ this.name = name; this.university = university; this.address = address; this.rank = rank; } } //create class Address class Address { public String street; public String state; public String city; Address(String street, String state, String city){ this.street = street; this.state = state; this.city = city; } }

Ignora i campi nulli a livello globale

In questo caso utilizziamo JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL sulla classe ObjectMapper per configurare il comportamento di ignorare i campi null a livello globale. Noi usiamo il setSerializationInclusion() metodo con Include.NON_NULL nel seguente modo:

 mapper.setSerializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) 

Facciamo un esempio per capire come possiamo ignorare i campi null a livello globale utilizzando il setSerializationInclusion() metodo.

IgnoraNullFieldExample3.java

 //import required classes and package if any import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Scanner; import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonInclude; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; //create class IgnoreNullFieldExample3 to understand how we can ignore null fields globally public class IgnoreNullFieldExample3 { //main() methods start public static void main(String args[]) { // create an instance of ObjectMapper class ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // create Scanner class object Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in); // using try-catch try { College colg; String name, university, street, state, city, rank; System.out.println('Enter College Name:'); name = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter University Name:'); university = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter Street:'); street = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter City:'); city = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter State:'); state = sc.nextLine(); System.out.println('Enter College Rank:'); rank = sc.nextLine(); // set values to College object by using constructor colg = new College(name, university, new Address(street, state, null), null); // serialize College using mapper String jsonString = mapper .setSerializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) .writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter() .writeValueAsString(colg); System.out.println(jsonString); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } //close Scanner class object sc.close(); } } //create class College class College { //Creating properties of College class public String name; public String university; public Address address; public String rank; // constructor College(String name, String university, Address address, String rank){ this.name = name; this.university = university; this.address = address; this.rank = rank; } } //create class Address class Address { public String street; public String state; public String city; Address(String street, String state, String city){ this.street = street; this.state = state; this.city = city; } }

Tutti i metodi sopra indicati vengono utilizzati per ignorare i campi null, dove ciascun metodo viene utilizzato in casi diversi.
