Annotation Interface JsonIgnoreType
Marker annotation that indicates that all properties that have
type annotated with this annotation
are to be ignored during serialization and deserialization.
Note that this does NOT mean that properties included by annotated type are ignored. Given hypothetical types:
@JsonIgnoreType
class Credentials {
public String password;
}
class Settings {
public int userId;
public String name;
public Credentials pwd;
}
serialization of Settings
would only include properties "userId"
and "name" but NOT "pwd", since it is of type annotated with @JsonIgnoreType
.
Note: annotation does have boolean 'value' property (which defaults
to 'true'), so that it is actually possible to override value
using mix-in annotations. Usually value is not specified as it defaults
to true
meaning annotation should take effect.

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
