== Usage

=== Configuring the Jackson `ObjectMapper`

There are a few ways of configuring the `ObjectMapper` that the `JacksonDataFormat` uses. These are outlined below.

==== `ObjectMapper` created internally by `JacksonDataFormat`

By default, `JacksonDataFormat` will create its own `ObjectMapper` and use the various configuration options on the `DataFormat`
to configure additional Jackson modules, pretty printing and other features.

==== Custom `ObjectMapper` for `JacksonDataFormat`

You can pass a custom `ObjectMapper` instance to `JacksonDataFormat` as follows.

[source,java]
----
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JacksonDataFormat dataFormat = new JacksonDataFormat();
dataFormat.setObjectMapper(mapper);
----

==== Using the Quarkus Jackson `ObjectMapper` with `JacksonDataFormat`

The Quarkus Jackson extension exposes an `ObjectMapper` CDI bean which can be discovered by the `JacksonDataFormat`.

[source,java]
----
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JacksonDataFormat dataFormat = new JacksonDataFormat();
// Make JacksonDataFormat discover the Quarkus Jackson `ObjectMapper` from the Camel registry
dataFormat.setAutoDiscoverObjectMapper(true);
----

If you are using the JSON binding mode in the Camel REST DSL and want to use the Quarkus Jackson `ObjectMapper`, it can be achieved as follows.

[source,java]
----
@ApplicationScoped
public class Routes extends RouteBuilder() {
    public void configure() {
        restConfiguration().dataFormatProperty("autoDiscoverObjectMapper", "true");
        // REST definition follows...
    }
}
----

You can perform customizations on the Quarkus `ObjectMapper` with a `ObjectMapperCustomizer`.

[source,java]
----
@Singleton
public class RegisterCustomModuleCustomizer implements ObjectMapperCustomizer {
    public void customize(ObjectMapper mapper) {
        mapper.registerModule(new CustomModule());
    }
}
----

It's also possible to `@Inject` the Quarkus `ObjectMapper` and pass it to the `JacksonDataFormat`.

[source,java]
----
@ApplicationScoped
public class Routes extends RouteBuilder() {
    @Inject
    ObjectMapper mapper;

    public void configure() {
        JacksonDataFormat dataFormat = new JacksonDataFormat();
        dataFormat.setObjectMapper(mapper);
        // Routes definition follows...
    }
}
