Overview

This method converts a JSON document into a mutable in-memory tree representation of the JSON document. Tree model is arguably the most flexible of all three methods. The tree model is similar to the XML DOM.

JSON to Java with Tree Model

org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper is the main API that builds trees from JSON content.

InputStream is = ...

ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();

JsonNode root = om.readTree(is);

The trees consists of JsonNodes. Each node has one of the following types, coded as the JsonNodeType enum:

• NULL
• BOOLEAN
• NUMBER
• STRING
• OBJECT
• ARRAY
• BINARY
• POJO
• MISSING
