How to convert json that contains LocalDate field to deserializable format?

Question

I have an object stored in String. One of the fields of the object is LocalDate.

"from": {
        "year": 1000,
        "month": "JANUARY",
        "era": "CE",
        "dayOfMonth": 1,
        "dayOfWeek": "WEDNESDAY",
        "dayOfYear": 1,
        "leapYear": false,
        "monthValue": 1,
        "chronology": {
            "calendarType": "iso8601",
            "id": "ISO"
        }
    }

How do I convert this json to a format that can be used for deserialization?

Following code

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr310.JavaTimeModule;


ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
om.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
MyCustomObject obj = om.readValue(json, MyCustomObject.class); //error

throws this exception:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Unexpected token (START_OBJECT), expected VALUE_STRING: Expected array or string.

Here's the MyCustomObject class, which I use as MyCustomObject <LocalDate>

public class MyCustomObject<T> {
    private T from;
    private T to;

    public MyCustomObject() {
    }

    public T getFrom() {
        return this.from;
    }

    public void setFrom(T from) {
        this.from = from;
    }

    public T getTo() {
        return this.to;
    }

    public void setTo(T to) {
        this.to = to;
    }
}

Answer 1

LocalDate stored incorrectly in JSON.

The correct way to fix the problem is to ensure the ObjectMappercreation of JSON JavaTimeModuleor Jdk8Module. This ensures that it is LocalDatecorrectly serialized to a JSON array [year, month, day].

, @Roy , LocalDate. - :

LocalDate date = LocalDate.now()
        .with(ChronoField.YEAR, year)
        .with(ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR, Month.valueOf(month).getValue())
        .with(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);

MyCustomObject.class :

==================================
package ;
public class Chronology

    private String calendarType;

    private String id;

    public void setCalendarType(String calendarType){
        this.calendarType = calendarType;
    }
    public String getCalendarType(){
        return this.calendarType;
    }
    public void setId(String id){
        this.id = id;
    }
    public String getId(){
        return this.id;
    }
}

==================================
package ;

    private int year;

    private String month;

    private String era;
