Annotation Type JsonIgnoreType

  • @Target({ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface JsonIgnoreType
    Marker annotation that indicates that all properties of annotated type are to be ignored during serialization and deserialization.

    Note: annotation does have boolean 'value' property (which defaults to 'true'), so that it is actually possible to override value using mix-in annotations.

      • value

        boolean value
        Optional argument that defines whether this annotation is active or not. The only use for value 'false' if for overriding purposes (which is not needed often); most likely it is needed for use with "mix-in annotations" ("annotation overrides"). For most cases, however, default value of "true" is just fine and should be omitted.
        Default:
        true
