Decide between tree binding and streaming JSON parsing on the JVM using payload size, access pattern, and memory constraints — with a hybrid pattern and a validation plan.
JSON Duplicate Key Behavior in Jackson 2.17 Across Parsing Modes
Configuration Transition Challenge The Jackson JSON processor underwent significant changes in version 2.17 regarding duplicate key handling in objects. While previous versions defaulted to last-wins semantics with optional configuration to reject duplicates, the latest release introduces stricter validation modes that may alter existing parsing behavior.
