使用com.fasterxml.jackson生成json空对象字符串

目标json样式

在项目中需要将java对象生成如下的json字符串

{"name":"akio","obj":{}}

相关Java类

public class User implements Serializable {
    private String name;
    private Object obj = new Object();

    //getter/setter
}

使用net.sf.json生成目标json字符串

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    User user = new User();
    user.setName("akio");
    JSONObject json = JSONObject.fromObject(user);
    System.out.println(json.toString());
}

使用com.fasterxml.jackson生成目标json字符串

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    User user = new User();
    user.setName("akio");
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    String jsonString = mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(user);
    System.out.println(jsonString);
}

结果报错：

Exception in thread "main" com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: No serializer found for class java.lang.Object and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) ) (through reference chain: cn.akioyuan.nulljsonobject.User["obj"])
    at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException.from(JsonMappingException.java:269)
....

根据提示，添加相应配置信息后，可生成空的json对象

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.configure(SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS, false);//设置为false
