Jackson – Java 8 date/time type `java.time.LocalDate` not supported by default

Date: 2024-04-05

Jackson, a popular Java JSON library, lacks native support for Java 8's java.time.LocalDate. This means attempting to serialize objects containing LocalDate fields results in errors because Jackson doesn't know how to convert them to JSON. The solution is to use the jackson-datatype-jsr310 library, which adds the necessary serialization and deserialization capabilities by registering the JavaTimeModule. This allows seamless integration of Java 8 date and time types with Jackson's JSON processing.
