It would be great to have something like jacksons @JsonView in Json-B, maybe it can be called @JsonbView. It should work like the following example:
// enums to discriminate between different json views
public enum UserSubset{
MY_SUBSET_1,
MY_SUBSET_2;
}
// the user class
public class User {
private int id;
@JsonbView("mysubset1")
private String name;
// UserSubset.MY_SUBSET_1 => UserSubset.MY_SUBSET_1.name() = "mysubset1"
@JsonbView(UserSubset.MY_SUBSET_1)
private Task task;
}
// the task class
public class Task {
private int id;
// property will be (de)serialized in mysubset1, mysubset2 and the default one
@JsonbView("mysubset1, mysubset2")
private String description;
}
The value of @JsonbView is a common (array of) String or Enum which is used as a discriminator. Using something like
jsonb.toJson(user, "mysubset");
or
jsonb.toJson(user, UserSubset.MY_SUBSET_1);
will outut the json with only the properties annotated with @JsonbView("mysubset1") or @JsonbView(UserSubset.MY_SUBSET_1)
Is something like this already planned?
I think it would be an extremely useful and simple approach to declare various JSON subviews quickly, easily and cleanly.
