MismatchedInpuException is base class for all JsonMappingExceptions. It occurred when input is not mapping with target definition or mismatch between as required for fulfilling the deserialization. This exception is used  for some input problems, but in most cases there should be more explicit subtypes to use.

MismatchedInputException Example

Here MismatchedInputException is occurring because of StudentDetail class define as private but Jackson always looks for class POJO for deserialization.

package com.fiot.json.jackson.annotations;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fiot.json.jackson.pojo.Address;
import com.fiot.json.jackson.pojo.Student;

public class JsonIgnoreUnknownProperties {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

	String json="	{\"id\" : 11,\"firstName\" : \"Saurabh\",\"middleName\" : \"Kumar\",\"lastName\" : \"Gupta\"}";

	System.out.println(json);
	try {
		// ObjectMapper new instance
		ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
		//convert json data to respective java object
		StudentDetail student = objectMapper.readValue(json, StudentDetail.class);
		// print java student java object
		System.out.println(student);
	} catch (JsonMappingException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace();
	} catch (JsonGenerationException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace();
	} catch (IOException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace();
	}
	}
	@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
	private class StudentDetail
	{
			@JsonProperty(value = "id")
			private int rollNumber;

			@JsonProperty(value = "firstName")
			private String firstName;

			@JsonProperty(value = "lastName")
			private String lastName;

			//Getter and Setter

	}
}

Stacktrace of Exception

Solutions

As solution of this exception for current issue define StudentClass as public because Jackson looks for POJO class for deserialization.

As per definition of POJO (Plain Old Java Object) is the class with out any restriction, having getter and setter methods, if required can also implement object class methods like equals, toString() etc.
