Class PropertyNamingStrategy

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    PropertyNamingStrategy.PropertyNamingStrategyBase


    public class PropertyNamingStrategy
    extends Object
    implements Serializable
    Class that defines how names of JSON properties ("external names") are derived from names of POJO methods and fields ("internal names"), in cases where they are not auto-detected and no explicit annotations exist for naming. Methods are passed information about POJO member for which name is needed, as well as default name that would be used if no custom strategy was used.

    Default (empty) implementation returns suggested ("default") name unmodified.

    Note that the strategy is guaranteed to be called once per logical property (which may be represented by multiple members; such as pair of a getter and a setter), but may be called for each: implementations should not count on exact number of times, and should work for any member that represent a property.

    In absence of a registered custom strategy, default Java property naming strategy is used, which leaves field names as is, and removes set/get/is prefix from methods (as well as lower-cases initial sequence of capitalized characters).

      • nameForField

        public String nameForField(MapperConfig<?> config,
                                   AnnotatedField field,
                                   String defaultName)
        Method called to find external name (name used in JSON) for given logical POJO property, as defined by given field.
        Parameters:
        config - Configuration in used: either SerializationConfig or DeserializationConfig, depending on whether method is called during serialization or deserialization
        field - Field used to access property
        defaultName - Default name that would be used for property in absence of custom strategy
        Returns:
        Logical name to use for property that the field represents
      • nameForGetterMethod

        public String nameForGetterMethod(MapperConfig<?> config,
                                          AnnotatedMethod method,
                                          String defaultName)
        Method called to find external name (name used in JSON) for given logical POJO property, as defined by given getter method; typically called when building a serializer. (but not always -- when using "getter-as-setter", may be called during deserialization)
        Parameters:
        config - Configuration in used: either SerializationConfig or DeserializationConfig, depending on whether method is called during serialization or deserialization
        method - Method used to access property.
        defaultName - Default name that would be used for property in absence of custom strategy
        Returns:
        Logical name to use for property that the method represents
      • nameForSetterMethod

        public String nameForSetterMethod(MapperConfig<?> config,
                                          AnnotatedMethod method,
                                          String defaultName)
        Method called to find external name (name used in JSON) for given logical POJO property, as defined by given setter method; typically called when building a deserializer (but not necessarily only then).
        Parameters:
        config - Configuration in used: either SerializationConfig or DeserializationConfig, depending on whether method is called during serialization or deserialization
        method - Method used to access property.
        defaultName - Default name that would be used for property in absence of custom strategy
        Returns:
        Logical name to use for property that the method represents
      • nameForConstructorParameter

        public String nameForConstructorParameter(MapperConfig<?> config,
                                                  AnnotatedParameter ctorParam,
                                                  String defaultName)
        Method called to find external name (name used in JSON) for given logical POJO property, as defined by given constructor parameter; typically called when building a deserializer (but not necessarily only then).
        Parameters:
        config - Configuration in used: either SerializationConfig or DeserializationConfig, depending on whether method is called during serialization or deserialization
        ctorParam - Constructor parameter used to pass property.
        defaultName - Default name that would be used for property in absence of custom strategy
