Jackson JSON Processor VS Lombok

We can then easily convert this string value into the array of Products using librares like Jackson.

The above class maps the json data to a java object we can work with. We use Lombok to generate constructors, getters and setters for our code and the Jackson Project to handle serialization and deserialization of json to pojo . We know the response is an array of objects representing the coffee and so above data structure is fit for this.

Jackson. Because JSON.

For my series of articles, I also wanted to see how this requirement to mapping values could be implemented with Jackson.

In practical terms, Jackson achieves the same purpose for Java. It was born as a Json parser, but nowadays supports multiple formats and it's widely used in the Java community.

How can Jackson library help you out?

Jackson para lidar com JSON;

An example of a Snowflake API request using Java. This example uses Java’s built-in HttpClient and constructs JSON manually, so it doesn’t require additional dependencies; however, in production, you should use a library like Jackson for constructing JSON. Additionally, for stronger typing, you could use Apollo’s Kotlin-based GraphQL client.

Almost a decade ago, I started reducing my boilerplate (and saving time with Lombok. It made my life much easier, simple as that. Ever since I've been looking into finding the smoothest solutions for saving time rather than handling all of it myself.

Lombok is a widely used library that simplifies Java code. The @NonNull annotation helps enforce non-null parameters, generating appropriate null checks:

Project Lombok

I gotta agree with /u/rzwitserloot I don't see anything in the lombok repo that indicates they have their "own compiler". I see the "reaching into javac internals" but that's it.

i looked into that and found this: https://github.com/projectlombok/lombok/issues/2310

Funny enough; /u/rzwitserloot is the author of Lombok, one of the most widely used Java libraries in the world. So it's not really some kind of random-ass Redditor they're having a discussion with either.

This removes the need to add the 'Project Lombok' library (and going through a phase of installing it in your Eclipse IDE; old school devs know what I am talking about) and speeds up development time. Java 14 added a new feature of 'Records' which allows you to do the same, but it doesn't offer a 'copy' method to ease your object creation and also enforces the 'final' keyword for variables making them immutable.

I get the main criticisms of Java, i.e. its verbosity and the requirement for a lot of boilerplate code, and understand why some people switched to Kotlin. But by using libraries such as lombok you can get rid of most of it and suddenly the incentives for switching aren't that big anymore. And in the end it's all JVM bytecode anyways.
