No content to map due to end-of-input jackson parser

I am getting this response from the server {"status":"true","msg":"success"}

I am trying to parse this json string using Jackson parser library but somehow I am facing mapping-exception stating

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: No content to map due to end-of-input
 at [Source: java.io.StringReader@421ea4c0; line: 1, column: 1]

Why do we get this kind of exceptions?

How to understand what is causing this exception?

I am trying to parse using following way:

StatusResponses loginValidator = null;

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
objectMapper.configure(Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_SOURCE, true);

try {
    String res = result.getResponseAsString();//{"status":"true","msg":"success"}
    loginValidator = objectMapper.readValue(result.getResponseAsString(), StatusResponses.class);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

StatusResponse class

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
@JsonPropertyOrder({ "status","msg" })
public class StatusResponses {

    @JsonProperty("status")
    public String getStatus() {
        return status;
    }

    @JsonProperty("status")
    public void setStatus(String status) {
        this.status = status;
    }

    @JsonProperty("msg")
    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    @JsonProperty("msg")
    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    @JsonProperty("status")
    private String status;

    @JsonProperty("msg")
    private String message;

    private Map<String, Object> additionalProperties = new HashMap<String, Object>();

    @JsonGetter
    public Map<String, Object> getAdditionalProperties() {
        return additionalProperties;
    }

    @JsonSetter
    public void setAdditionalProperties(Map<String, Object> additionalProperties) {
        this.additionalProperties = additionalProperties;
    }
}

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser.Feature;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

StatusResponses loginValidator = null;

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
objectMapper.configure(Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_SOURCE, true);

try {
    String res = result.getResponseAsString();//{"status":"true","msg":"success"}
    loginValidator = objectMapper.readValue(res, StatusResponses.class);//replaced result.getResponseAsString() with res
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Don't know how it worked and why it worked? :( but it worked
