Yes, it is possible to deserialize XML to a Java class without using a custom deserializer class.
One way to do this is to add a no-argument default constructor to the Java class. This will allow Jackson to create an instance of the class during deserialization.
For example, if you have a Java class Employee
with properties id
, name
, and age
, you can add a no-argument default constructor like this:
public class Employee { private int id; private String name; private int age; public Employee() { // No-argument default constructor } // Getters and setters }
Then, you can use the XmlMapper
class from the Jackson XML library to deserialize the XML response to the Employee
class like this:
XmlMapper mapper = new XmlMapper(); Employee employee = mapper.readValue(xmlResponse, Employee.class);
Here, xmlResponse
is the XML response from the API, and Employee.class
is the target Java class that you want to deserialize the XML to.
Note that this approach assumes that the XML response has element names that match the Java property names, so no additional annotations or custom mapping is required. If the element names in the XML response are different from the Java property names, you can use the @JsonProperty
annotation to specify the mapping.
