Jackson databind enum case insensitive

by

Jackson 2.9

This is now very simple, using jackson-databind 2.9.0 and above

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
objectMapper.enable(MapperFeature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_ENUMS);

// objectMapper now deserializes enums in a case-insensitive manner

Full example with tests

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.MapperFeature;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

public class Main {

  private enum TestEnum { ONE }
  private static class TestObject { public TestEnum testEnum; }

  public static void main (String[] args) {
    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    objectMapper.enable(MapperFeature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_ENUMS);

    try {
      TestObject uppercase = 
        objectMapper.readValue("{ \"testEnum\": \"ONE\" }", TestObject.class);
      TestObject lowercase = 
        objectMapper.readValue("{ \"testEnum\": \"one\" }", TestObject.class);
      TestObject mixedcase = 
        objectMapper.readValue("{ \"testEnum\": \"oNe\" }", TestObject.class);

      if (uppercase.testEnum != TestEnum.ONE) throw new Exception("cannot deserialize uppercase value");
      if (lowercase.testEnum != TestEnum.ONE) throw new Exception("cannot deserialize lowercase value");
      if (mixedcase.testEnum != TestEnum.ONE) throw new Exception("cannot deserialize mixedcase value");

      System.out.println("Success: all deserializations worked");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
