I am trying to parse yaml files into models using jackson
Model --
public class TestModel {
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
Parsing
private static ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(new YAMLFactory());
TestModel obj = mapper.readValue(yamlFile, TestModel.class);
yaml-file
name: somename
Exception
Caused by: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unrecognized token 'name': was expecting 'null', 'true', 'false' or NaN

Try updating your version of jackson-dataformat-yaml. I was running into the same issue until I updated the version of my Maven dependency.
My dependency looks like:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-dataformat-yaml</artifactId>
<version>2.1.3</version>
</dependency>
