How to display decimal in specific format in Jackson (for JSON)












0















Suppose I have an object with



private Double test;

// Need specific output in JSON via Jackson: test = 24.6000


When output to JSON via Jackson, I get 24.6, but I need the exact 4-decimal output as in the example. Does Jackson allow this?



For example, for Dates, we found a way to force MM/dd/yyyy:



@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "MM/dd/yyyy")
Date myDate;


We need something similar for Decimal formatting.

          • thanks so there is no out-of-the-box Jackson annotation, in other words? For most cases there are.

            I don't think there is. But it would be a nice addition since this is a very common use case.
