Understanding Serialization and Deserialization with Jackson in Spring Boot 🚀📌😊

Serialization and deserialization are fundamental concepts when working with data in Java applications. Many developers struggle with these concepts, particularly when using the Jackson library in Spring Boot. In this blog, I will help you in understanding serialization and deserialization in detail, understand how Jackson simplifies the process, and dive deeper into techniques like @JsonProperty and ObjectMapper. 🎯📖💡

What is Serialization and Deserialization? 📝

1. Serialization with Jackson
   Serialization is the process of converting a Java object into JSON format. This is useful when sending data over networks or storing it in a database.
2. Deserialization with Jackson
   Deserialization is the reverse process — converting JSON data back into a Java object. This is useful when receiving JSON data from an API and mapping it to a Java class.

Note: Serialization and Deserialization are more generic terms used in development. For…
