This is a plugin for Jackson which can serialize cyclic object graphs in the JSOG format. It can both serialize and deserialize.
Caveat: With Jackson 2.5.0, polymoprhic (ie @JsonTypeInfo) objects cannot be deserialized from JSOG. Jackson 2.5.1 fixes the issue.
The official repository is (https://github.com/jsog/jsog-jackson)
This plugin is available in Maven Central:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.voodoodyne.jackson.jsog</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-jsog</artifactId>
<version>please look up latest version</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
It can be downloaded directly from [http://search.maven.org/]
To use this plugin, annotate any classes which may contain references with @JsonIdentityInfo(generator=JSOGGenerator.class).
@JsonIdentityInfo(generator=JSOGGenerator.class)
public class Person {
String name;
Person secretSanta;
}
