This is considered 112 so-called "split property" case and allows definitions of 113 "read-only" (read from input into POJO) and "write-only" (write 114 in output but ignore on output) 115<br> 116 NOTE! As Jackson 2.6, there is a new and improved way to define 117 `read-only` and `write-only` properties, using 118 <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonProperty.html#access--"><code>JsonProperty.access()</code></a> annotation: this is recommended over 119 use of separate <code>JsonIgnore</code> and <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonProperty.html" title="annotation in com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation"><code>JsonProperty</code></a> 120 annotations. 121<p> 122 For example, a "getter" method that would otherwise denote 123 a property (like, say, "getValue" to suggest property "value") 124 to serialize, would be ignored and no such property would 125 be output unless another annotation defines alternative method to use. 126<p> 127 When ignoring the whole property, the default behavior if encountering 128 such property in input is to ignore it without exception; but if there 129 is a <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonAnySetter.html" title="annotation in com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation"><code>JsonAnySetter</code></a> it will be called instead. Either way, 130 no exception will be thrown. 131<p> 132 Annotation is usually used just a like a marker annotation, that 133 is, without explicitly defining 'value' argument (which defaults 134 to <code>true</code>): but argument can be explicitly defined. 135 This can be done to override an existing `JsonIgnore` by explicitly 136 defining one with 'false' argument: either in a sub-class, or by 137 using "mix-in annotations".</div> 138</li> 139</ul> 140</div> 141<div class="summary"> 142<ul class="blockList"> 143<li class="blockList"> 144<!-- =========== ANNOTATION TYPE OPTIONAL MEMBER SUMMARY =========== --> 145<ul class="blockList"> 146<li class="blockList"><a name="annotation.type.optional.element.summary"> 147<!-- --> 148</a> 149<h3>Optional Element Summary</h3> 150<table class="memberSummary" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" summary="Optional Element Summary table, listing optional elements, and an explanation"> 151<caption><span>Optional Elements</span><span class="tabEnd"> </span></caption> 152<tr> 153<th class="colFirst" scope="col">Modifier and Type</th> 154<th class="colLast" scope="col">Optional Element and Description</th> 155</tr> 156<tr class="altColor"> 157<td class="colFirst"><code>boolean</code></td> 158<td class="colLast"><code><span class="memberNameLink"><a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonIgnore.html#value--">value</a></span></code> 159<div class="block">Optional argument that defines whether this annotation is active 160 or not.</div> 161</td> 162</tr> 163</table> 164</li> 165</ul> 166</li> 167</ul> 168</div> 169<div class="details"> 170<ul class="blockList"> 171<li class="blockList"> 172<!-- ============ ANNOTATION TYPE MEMBER DETAIL =========== --> 173<ul class="blockList"> 174<li class="blockList"><a name="annotation.type.element.detail"> 175<!-- --> 176</a> 177<h3>Element Detail</h3> 178<a name="value--"> 179<!-- --> 180</a> 181<ul class="blockListLast"> 182<li class="blockList"> 183<h4>value</h4> 184<pre>public abstract boolean value</pre> 185<div class="block">Optional argument that defines whether this annotation is active 186 or not.
