Annotation that can be used to either suppress serialization of properties (during serialization), or ignore processing of JSON properties read (during deserialization).

Example:

// to prevent specified fields from being serialized or deserialized
// (i.e. not include in JSON output; or being set even if they were included)
@JsonIgnoreProperties({ "internalId", "secretKey" })
// To ignore any unknown properties in JSON input without exception:
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown=true)

Annotation can be applied both to classes and to properties. If used for both, actual set will be union of all ignorals: that is, you can only add properties to ignore, not remove or override. So you can not remove properties to ignore using per-property annotation.

Property that defines whether it is ok to just ignore any unrecognized properties during deserialization. If true, all properties that are unrecognized -- that is, there are no setters or creators that accept them -- are ignored without warnings (although handlers for unknown properties, if any, will still be called) without exception.

Does not have any effect on serialization.

Property that can be enabled to allow "getters" to be used (that is, prevent ignoral of getters for properties listed in value()). This is commonly set to support defining "read-only" properties; ones for which there is a getter, but no matching setter: in this case, properties should be ignored for deserialization but NOT serialization. Another way to think about this setting is that setting it to `true` will "disable" ignoring of getters.

Default value is `false`, which means that getters with matching names will be ignored.

Since:2.6
