Project to build Jackson module (jar) to support JSON serialization and deserialization of Guava collection types.

Status

As of version 2.0 module is usable although coverage is not extensive: more support is added mainly via user contributions.

Usage

Maven dependency

To use module on Maven-based projects, use following dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackson-datatype-guava</artifactId>
  <version>2.2.0</version>
</dependency>

(or whatever version is most up-to-date at the moment)

Registering module

Like all standard Jackson modules (libraries that implement Module interface), registration is done as follows:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.registerModule(new GuavaModule());

after which functionality is available for all normal Jackson operations.
