Generate Java Classes from API Response
This example generates Java classes with Jackson annotations from a typical REST API response. The pre-filled JSON represents a user object with nested address, array of roles, and array of post objects. Switch to Java mode to see the generated classes.
What You Get
The tool produces:
- A root
Rootclass with all fields RootUserclass for the nested address objectRootPostsItemclass for array items@JsonProperty("key")annotations on every field- camelCase field names following Java conventions
@Nullableannotations for optional fields- Java type mappings:
String,long,double,boolean,List<String>
How to Use
- The example loads with a sample API response and Java mode pre-selected
- Inspect the generated Java classes and their Jackson annotations
- Copy the classes and paste them into your Java project
- Replace with your actual API response to generate classes for your endpoints
Real-World Pattern
Java classes with Jackson annotations are the standard way to deserialize API responses in Spring Boot and other Java frameworks. The generated code works directly with objectMapper.readValue(json, Root.class). Use @Nullable for fields that may not always be present in the response.
