How can I add Boon or Jackson JSON parsers to Android project with Gradle?

Question

I would like to know how can I add Boon or Jackson parser to an android project using Gradle?

I found how to do so with GSON but couldn't find anything with Boon or Jackson.

@Baldy answer is the same as:

implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.10.1'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.10.1'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.10.1'

Following android studio conventions. You can find the up to date version at: Maven Central Repository.

Recent versions of Android Studio use the keyword `implementation` instead of `compile` ` implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.7.3' implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.7.3' implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.7.3' ` – Kobby Fletcher Nov 17 '18 at 07:51

Here's what have in my dependencies section in my build.gradle file for Jackson:

compile (
    [group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core', name: 'jackson-core', version: '2.4.1'],
    [group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core', name: 'jackson-annotations', version: '2.4.1'],
    [group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core', name: 'jackson-databind', version: '2.4.1']
)

If you're trying to use jax-rs, you'll also need a few more:

    [group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs', name: 'jackson-jaxrs-base', version: '2.4.1'],
    [group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs', name: 'jackson-jaxrs-json-provider', version: '2.4.1'],
    [group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.module', name: 'jackson-module-jaxb-annotations', version: '2.4.1']

Why do you use that group "thing" into the sample compile? – Daniel Gomez Rico Apr 21 '15 at 04:39

It Worked for me i just had to add packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' } – Kokusho May 18 '15 at 18:24

Note that jackson adds almost 10k methods to the project. Might be an issue if one is concerned about dex method limit (64k). – Denys Kniazhev-Support Ukraine Apr 19 '16 at 13:12
@Kokusho Yes, and each "exclude" statement should be on a separate line... otherwise the error **Cannot invoke method exclude() on null object** appears. – gregn3 Aug 23 '17 at 07:03
