Date format in the json output using spring boot












34















I am working on spring boot for creating a REST application. And I have a DTO as shown below:



public class Subject {

private String uid;
private String number;
private String initials;
private Date dateOfBirth;


And I use Spring-Hateos and the reurn type of my controller is ResponseEntity<Resources<Resource<Subject>>>. I need the date to be displayed in the "yyyy-mm-dd" format.

          If you have Jackson integeration with your application to serialize your bean to JSON format, then you can use Jackson anotation @JsonFormat to format your date to specified format.

          In your case if you need your date into yyyy-MM-dd format you need to specify @JsonFormat above your field on which you want to apply this format.



          For Example :



          public class Subject {

          private String uid;
          private String number;
          private String initials;

          @JsonFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd")
          private Date dateOfBirth;

          //Other Code

          }


          From Docs :




          annotation used for configuring details of how values of properties
          are to be serialized.

          Hope this helps.

          • I am retrieving the date from an soap service which is in XMLGregorianCalendar format. I have converted this into java.util.Date, and it is converted to json format. For ex: after converting XMLGregorianCalendar object to Date, it displays 2014-02-11 in the console. But in the json output it is displaying 2014-02-10.

          You most likely mean "yyyy-MM-dd" small latter 'm' would imply minutes section.



          You should do two things




          • add spring.jackson.serialization.write-dates-as-timestamps:false in your application.properties this will disable converting dates to timestamps and instead use a ISO-8601 compliant format


          • You can than customize the format by annotating the getter method of you dateOfBirth property with @JsonFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd")

            Tested with Spring Boot 1.3.0 you do not seem to require the spring.jackson.serialization.write-dates-as-timestamps but it is sufficient to only use the @JsonFormat annotation

            Is there a way to do this with all dates, and not have to annotate one by one?

          Starting from Spring Boot version 1.2.0.RELEASE , there is a property you can add to your application.properties to set a default date format to all of your classes spring.jackson.date-format.



          For your date format example, you would add this line to your properties file:



          spring.jackson.date-format=yyyy-MM-dd


          Reference https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.2.0.RELEASE/reference/html/common-application-properties.html

          • If it is a property, I believe it should be imported somewhere. The question is Where. Tested - does not work if simply added to application.properties or application.yml

          2














          If you want to change the format for all dates you can add a builder customizer. Here is an example of a bean that converts dates to ISO 8601:



          @Bean
          public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer jsonCustomizer() {
          return new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer() {
          @Override
          public void customize(Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder) {
          builder.dateFormat(new ISO8601DateFormat());
          }
          };
          }

          I am retrieving the date from an soap service which is in XMLGregorianCalendar format. I have converted this into java.util.Date, and it is converted to json format. For ex: after converting XMLGregorianCalendar object to Date, it displays 2014-02-11 in the console. But in the json output it is displaying 2014-02-10.

          You most likely mean "yyyy-MM-dd" small latter 'm' would imply minutes section.



          You should do two things




          • add spring.jackson.serialization.write-dates-as-timestamps:false in your application.properties this will disable converting dates to timestamps and instead use a ISO-8601 compliant format


          • You can than customize the format by annotating the getter method of you dateOfBirth property with @JsonFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd")

          Starting from Spring Boot version 1.2.0.RELEASE , there is a property you can add to your application.properties to set a default date format to all of your classes spring.jackson.date-format.



          For your date format example, you would add this line to your properties file:



          spring.jackson.date-format=yyyy-MM-dd

          If you want to change the format for all dates you can add a builder customizer. Here is an example of a bean that converts dates to ISO 8601:



          @Bean
          public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer jsonCustomizer() {
          return new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer() {
          @Override
          public void customize(Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder) {
          builder.dateFormat(new ISO8601DateFormat());
          }
          };
          }
