Using jackson as jsonb provider

[nimo23]

I have a bunch of jsonb annotated classes and want to switch from yasson to jackson. As jackson is also a jsonb-provider when using:

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.jakarta.rs</groupId>
	<artifactId>jackson-jakarta-rs-json-provider</artifactId>
</dependency>

it could be used in combination with

<dependency>
	<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
	<artifactId>quarkus-resteasy-reactive-jsonb</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
	<artifactId>quarkus-rest-client-reactive-jsonb</artifactId>
</dependency>

Is the above enough for Quarkus to register Jackson as a jsonb-provider? If I use Jackson as a jsonb-provider, I can also use Jackson annotations (e.g. @JsonView) in combination with jsonb-annotations. Using such an approach, will it fully work in Quarkus?

Another question is:

Would it be reasonable to switch the quarkus internal jsonb-provider to jackson instead of using yasson?

As jackson is also a jsonb-provider

This is not true

This is not true

@geoand According to https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-jakarta-rs-providers and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71645606/what-happens-if-we-have-both-jackson-jaxrs-json-provider-and-jersey-media-json-b, I came to the conclusion that with jackson-jakarta-rs-json-provider jackson can use jsonb-annotations for its processing, or did I miss something?

[geoand]

Jakarta REST (or JAX-RS as it used to be called) is not related to JSON-B, they are merely often used together.

Jackson does not implement JSON-B

Ok, then I need to convert jsonb annotations to jackson annotation. I was looking for a "Jsonb<-> Jackson"-annotation mapper and thought this lib would be the one. But unfortunately there is no such thing :=)
