can't create an objectMapper in java

Question

I am creating an instance of the object mapper.

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

This line gives me the following error:

The constructor ObjectMapper() is undefined

What am I doing wrong? Can you please help me? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You might be missing the below jar if you are using Jackson

jackson-mapper-asl-1.5.0.jar

Also try importing below package

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*;
