ispringer/jackson-datatype-guava

Add-on module for Jackson JSON processor which handles Google Guava (http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/) datatypes (collections)

Project to build Jackson module (jar) to support JSON serialization and deserialization of Guava collection types.

Status

As of version 2.0 module is usable although coverage is not extensive: more support is added mainly via user contributions.

Usage

Maven dependency

To use module on Maven-based projects, use following dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackson-datatype-guava</artifactId>
  <version>2.2.0</version>
</dependency>

(or whatever version is most up-to-date at the moment)

Registering module

Like all standard Jackson modules (libraries that implement Module interface), registration is done as follows:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.registerModule(new GuavaModule());

after which functionality is available for all normal Jackson operations.
