Overview

This is a multi-module umbrella project for Jackson modules that are considered foundational, building on core databind, but not including datatype or data format modules, or JAX-/Jakarta-RS providers. Not all "general" modules are included here; this grouping is to be used for more mature (and generally slower moving, stable) modules.

Currently included are:

• Afterburner --
• Blackbird
• Guice
  • "Old" (javax.inject) based versions: Guice
  • New "Jakarta" (jakarta.inject) based versions: Guice 7 (added in 2.16)
• Java XML Binding Annotation compatibility
  • "Old" (java.xml.bind) annotations: JAXB Annotations
  • New "Jakarta" (jakarta.xml.bind): Jakarta XML Bind Annotations (added in 2.13)
• Mr Bean
• No-Constructor-Deserialization
• OSGi
• Paranamer (2.x only)
  • discontinued so no 3.x versions exist
• SPI subtypes (2.21+)

Status

License

All modules are licensed under Apache License 2.0.

Additionally, 2.x versions of Afterburner and Mr Bean use ASM, licensed as per:

https://asm.ow2.io/license.html

whereas 3.0 will use ByteBuddy (licensed as per https://github.com/raphw/byte-buddy/blob/master/LICENSE)

Using Jakarta

You need to choose either:

• jackson-module-jaxb-annotations for "old JAXB" (2.x): supports javax.xml.bind annotations
• jackson-module-jakarta-xmlbind-annotations for "new Jakarta JAXB" (3.x): supports jakarta.xml.bind annotations

(in theory you can even use both, with databind AnnotationIntrospectorPair, but more often you will only want one of these)
