well, It's not purely Jackson as it uses Playjson, but it helped me to write the pure Jackson version, Thanks for sharing ...

@vijayparashar12 could you share the Jackson version you wrote?

@vijayparashar12 Yeah, it'd be cool if you'd share your pure Jackson version, please 🙂

@vijayparashar12 could you share it ?

@diranl @ccjmne @anishpr9 here you go https://gist.github.com/vijayparashar12/e1b61543ace2debb20b6a302fa408eaf

apologies for late response.

@vijayparashar12 Thanks!
I don't think you get notified in gists even when people mention you explicitly... so the late response is entirely understandable.

I did write my own in the meantime, 'cause it wasn't actually a hard task 😆
Mine is practically identical to yours.

Thanks again for sharing!
