Getting started¶

Adding the dependency¶

To use this library in a Maven project, add the following to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>nl.datastations</groupId>
    <artifactId>dans-jackson-converter-lib</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Using a converter¶

The converters in this library are used on fields annotated with Jackson's @JsonDeserialize or @JsonSerialize. For example, StringByteSizeConverter converts a human-readable byte size, such as "1MB", into a long.

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;

import nl.knaw.dans.convert.jackson.StringByteSizeConverter;

class MyConfig {

    @JsonDeserialize(converter = StringByteSizeConverter.class)
    private long sizeInBytes;
}
