This API demonstrates how to perform filtering on JSON responses in Spring Boot using both static and dynamic serialization.
Static filtering involves excluding certain fields from the JSON response at either the class level or the field level. This means that these fields will always be excluded from the JSON serialization, regardless of the context.
At the class level, static filtering can be applied using Jackson's @JsonIgnoreProperties annotation. This annotation allows you to specify fields to be ignored during serialization for all instances of the class.
At the field level, static filtering can be applied using Jackson's @JsonIgnore annotation. This annotation allows you to specify individual fields to be ignored during serialization.
Make sure to uncomment the @JsonIgnoreProperties or @JsonIgnore annotations as needed in the Student class to apply the desired static filtering behavior.
Dynamic filtering involves excluding certain fields from the JSON response based on runtime conditions. This allows for more flexibility as filtering can be applied selectively based on the request or other factors.
- GET request to this endpoint returns a single
Studentobject with filtering applied. - Filtering is applied to include only the "name" and "city" fields in the response.
- GET request to this endpoint returns a list of
Studentobjects with filtering applied. - Filtering is applied to include only the "name" and "mobile" fields in the response.
This README provides detailed explanations of both static and dynamic filtering mechanisms in the API and how to use the provided endpoints. Adjust the content as needed for your specific project documentation.
