Tokenization in org.modelmapper

I am trying to find out why the JSON objects that I pass to a Spring controller get accepted with an extra field and when they don't get accepted.

I was looking at the Modelmapper configuration in the documentation and came across this text for MatchingStrategy.STANDARD. 

 - Tokens can be matched in any order
 - All destination property name tokens must be matched
 - All source property names must have at least one token matched

The question that I have is: what are these tokens? I'm particularly interested in the meaning because of the third bullet point, since I can't figure out what this means.

Solution

  • Token are words of sentence in a String.

    check Stringtokenizer class in java.
