How to map a java.util.Date to a specific JSON java.lang.String - Date Serialization with Jackson 2.8.4

I do prefer Jackson for serializing and deserializing from and to JSON.

For Date to String conversion you do only need one simple annotation:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat;



// "2018-03-02T12:00:00";

@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")
public Date TimeStamp;
