Jackson: Property can be raw, arbitrary object or POJO












0














Let's say I use Jackson to serialize and deserialize POJOs. I have a number of classes like this:



class Foo {

    String field1;

    Bar field2;

    // ...

    Baz baz;

}


Where baz is a large JSON object that I receive from an external system. I want to use Foo in three different ways:




  1. Serialize Foo and include baz without even bothering to parse it, as if I had declared it as @JsonRawValue String baz.

  2. Pretty-print Foo and include baz just like I received it except pretty-printed, as if I had declared it as Map<String, Object> baz.

  3. Pass Foo to my business logic, with baz deserialized to a POJO, as in the code above.


One way to do this would be to declare three classes, with the baz field declared in three different ways. I could also combine 2) and 3) into a single class with @JsonAnySetter and @JsonAnyGetter to capture any properties I don't recognize.



But is there a clean way to support all the three use cases above while declaring just a single Foo class?

          A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

          Image
          0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

          Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

          Image
          1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
