Let's say I have a Json object like this:
{
"name": "Bob Dole",
"company": "Bob Dole Industries",
"phone": {
"work": "123-456-7890",
"home": "234-567-8901",
"mobile": "345-678-9012"
}
}
And to help me read it, I use Jackson's Object Mapper with the following class:
public class Contact {
public static class Phone {
private String work;
private String home;
private String mobile;
public String getWork() { return work; }
public String getHome() { return home; }
public String getMobile() { return mobile; }
public void setWork(String s) { work = s; }
public void setHome(String s) { home = s; }
public void setMobile(String s) { mobile = s; }
}
private String name;
private String company;
private Phone phone;
public String getName() { return name; }
public String getCompany() { return company; }
public Phone getPhone() { return phone; }
public void setName(String s) { name = s; }
public void setCompany(String s) { company = s; }
public void setPhone(Phone p) { phone = p; }
}
My question is, how (using the simplest explanation possible), does the Object mapper "deserialize" the Json object? I thought it was matching variable names, but changing them by a few letters didn't affect the output. Then, I tried switching the order of the set() functions, but that didn't do anything. I also tried both, but that was also useless. I'm guessing there's something more sophisticated at work here, but what?
I tried to look in the documentation and past code, but I didn't see an explanation that made sense to me.
