turns out when serialization for Enum, instead of customizing the serializer to customize the output, it’s possible to annotate the method or field with @JsonValue
.
enum Mode{
FLIGHT("AIRBUS"), ROAD("Tesla");
Mode(String instance){
..
}
@JsonValue
String instance;
}
this would then give out "AIRBUS"
and "TESLA"
instead of FLIGHT
and ROAD
.
