Jackson Codec
This module adds support for encoding and decoding JSON via Jackson.
Add JacksonEncoder and/or JacksonDecoder to your Feign.Builder like so:
GitHub github = Feign.builder() .encoder(new JacksonEncoder()) .decoder(new JacksonDecoder()) .target(GitHub.class, "https://api.github.com");
If you want to customize the ObjectMapper that is used, provide it to the JacksonEncoder and JacksonDecoder:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper() .setSerializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) .configure(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT, true) .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false); GitHub github = Feign.builder() .encoder(new JacksonEncoder(mapper)) .decoder(new JacksonDecoder(mapper)) .target(GitHub.class, "https://api.github.com");
