Spring Boot already contains the core Jackson dependency + several others.
If you e.g. want to add the org.json or jsr-353 databinding modules you to explicitly define the vesion of these additional modules.
Is there a way to refer to the same version of the other Jackson modules? I want to avoid any compatibility issues.
Spring Boot provides managed dependencies for the following Jackson modules:
If you're using maven then additional modules could be defined in your own POM using the ${jackson.version} property. eg:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-datatype-whatever</artifactId>
<version>${jackson.version}</version>
</dependency>
