org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException while deserialising String

Question

I have the following string in a resource file and I am trying to deserialise to Map using ObjectMapper

{ 13714974: { get-url: "https://example.com/get", post-url: "https://example.com/post" }, 13743772: { get-url: "https://example.com/get", post-url: "https://example.com/post" }

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        mapper.configure(JsonParser.Feature.ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES, true);
        Map<String, Map<String, String>> cmMappings = mapper.readValue(content, Map.class);

When I use codehaus jackson ObjectMapper and try to deserialise it, I get the exception,

Exception in thread "main" org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected character ('1' (code 49)): was expecting either valid name character (for unquoted name) or double-quote (for quoted) to start field name

    at org.codehaus.jackson.impl.ReaderBasedParser._parseFieldName(ReaderBasedParser.java:268)
    at org.codehaus.jackson.impl.ReaderBasedParser.nextToken(ReaderBasedParser.java:118)

and when running the code to deserialise a resource file containing string of this format I get Exception while deserialising because of hyphen in field names.

I tried fasterxml ObjectMapper also but it does not work

So how do I debug the string to the map ?

Answer 1

This is how we deserialise the above String

try {    
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource("resourceFile");
    mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
    mapper.configure(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser.Feature.ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES, true);
    TypeReference<HashMap<String, Map<String, String>>> typeRef = new TypeReference<HashMap<String, Map<String, String>>>() {};
    cmMappings = mapper.readValue(resource.getInputStream(), typeRef);
} catch (Exception ex) {
   // log error    
}
