You can set the `HttpMessageConverter` instances to use in Java configuration,
replacing the ones used by default, by overriding
{spring-framework-api}/web/servlet/config/annotation/WebMvcConfigurer.html#configureMessageConverters-java.util.List-[`configureMessageConverters()`].
You can also customize the list of configured message converters at the end by overriding
{spring-framework-api}/web/servlet/config/annotation/WebMvcConfigurer.html#extendMessageConverters-java.util.List-[`extendMessageConverters()`].
You can configure the `HttpMessageConverter` instances to use by overriding
{spring-framework-api}/web/servlet/config/annotation/WebMvcConfigurer.html#configureMessageConverters(org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageConverters.Builder)[`configureMessageConverters()`].
TIP: In a Spring Boot application, the `WebMvcAutoConfiguration` adds any
`HttpMessageConverter` beans it detects, in addition to default converters. Hence, in a
Boot application, prefer to use the {spring-boot-docs-ref}/web/servlet.html#web.servlet.spring-mvc.message-converters[HttpMessageConverters]
mechanism. Or alternatively, use `extendMessageConverters` to modify message converters
at the end.
The following example adds XML and Jackson JSON converters with a customized `ObjectMapper`
instead of the default ones:
The following example configures custom Jackson JSON and XML converters with customized mappers instead of the default
ones:
include-code::./WebConfiguration[tag=snippet,indent=0]
In the preceding example,
{spring-framework-api}/http/converter/json/Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder.html[`Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder`]
is used to create a common configuration for both `MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter` and
`MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter` with indentation enabled, a customized date format,
and the registration of
{jackson-github-org}/jackson-module-parameter-names[`jackson-module-parameter-names`],
Which adds support for accessing parameter names (a feature added in Java 8).
This builder customizes Jackson's default properties as follows:
* {jackson-docs}/jackson-databind/javadoc/2.6/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/DeserializationFeature.html#FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES[`DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES`] is disabled.
* {jackson-docs}/jackson-databind/javadoc/2.6/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/MapperFeature.html#DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION[`MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION`] is disabled.
It also automatically registers the following well-known modules if they are detected on the classpath:
* {jackson-github-org}/jackson-datatype-jsr310[jackson-datatype-jsr310]: Support for Java 8 Date and Time API types.
* {jackson-github-org}/jackson-datatype-jdk8[jackson-datatype-jdk8]: Support for other Java 8 types, such as `Optional`.
* {jackson-github-org}/jackson-module-kotlin[jackson-module-kotlin]: Support for Kotlin classes and data classes.
NOTE: Enabling indentation with Jackson XML support requires
https://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.codehaus.woodstox%22%20AND%20a%3A%22woodstox-core-asl%22[`woodstox-core-asl`]
dependency in addition to https://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ca%3A%22jackson-dataformat-xml%22[`jackson-dataformat-xml`] one.
Other interesting Jackson modules are available:
* https://github.com/zalando/jackson-datatype-money[jackson-datatype-money]: Support for `javax.money` types (unofficial module).
* {jackson-github-org}/jackson-datatype-hibernate[jackson-datatype-hibernate]: Support for Hibernate-specific types and properties (including lazy-loading aspects).
