    • value

      String value
      Optional default argument that defines logical property this method is used to modify ("set"); this is the property name used in JSON content.
      Default:
      ""
    • nulls

      Nulls nulls
      Specifies action to take when input contains explicit `null` value (if format has one). Default action, in absence of any explicit configuration, is usually Nulls.SET, meaning that the `null` is set as value using setter.

      NOTE: is not usually used in case property value is missing, unless data format specifies that there is defaulting which would result in an explicit null assignment.

      Default:
      DEFAULT
    • contentNulls

      Nulls contentNulls
      Specifies action to take when input to match into content value (of a Collection, Map, array, or referential value) contains explicit `null` value (if format has one) to bind. Default action, in absence of any explicit configuration, is usually Nulls.SET, meaning that the `null` is included as usual.
      Default:
      DEFAULT
