The simplest solution  which supports deserialization and serialization as well  is  import com fasterxml jackson annotation JsonFormat  import com fasterxml jackson databind annotation JsonDeserialize  import com fasterxml jackson databind annotation JsonSerialize  import com fasterxml jackson datatype jsr310 deser LocalDateDeserializer  import com fasterxml jackson datatype jsr310 ser LocalDateSerializer    JsonFormat shape   JsonFormat Shape STRING  pattern    dd MM yyyy    JsonDeserialize using   LocalDateDeserializer class   JsonSerialize using   LocalDateSerializer class  private LocalDate dateOfBirth      While using the following dependencies in your project   Maven   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt com fasterxml jackson core lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt jackson-databind lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 9 7 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt com fasterxml jackson datatype lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt jackson-datatype-jsr310 lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 9 7 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    Gradle  compile  com fasterxml jackson core jackson-databind 2 9 7  compile  com fasterxml jackson datatype jackson-datatype-jsr310 2 9 7    No additional implementation of a ContextResolver  Serializer or Deserializer is required

In configuration class define LocalDateSerializer and LocalDateDeserializer class and register them to ObjectMapper via JavaTimeModule like below    Configuration public class AppConfig    Bean     public ObjectMapper objectMapper                 ObjectMapper mapper   new ObjectMapper            mapper setSerializationInclusion Include NON EMPTY             other mapper configs            Customize de-serialization           JavaTimeModule javaTimeModule   new JavaTimeModule            javaTimeModule addSerializer LocalDate class  new LocalDateSerializer             javaTimeModule addDeserializer LocalDate class  new LocalDateDeserializer             mapper registerModule javaTimeModule            return mapper             public class LocalDateSerializer extends JsonSerializer lt LocalDate gt             Override         public void serialize LocalDate value  JsonGenerator gen  SerializerProvider serializers  throws IOException               gen writeString value format Constant DATE TIME FORMATTER                         public class LocalDateDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer lt LocalDate gt              Override         public LocalDate deserialize JsonParser p  DeserializationContext ctxt  throws IOException               return LocalDate parse p getValueAsString    Constant DATE TIME FORMATTER

I was never able to get this to work simple using annotations  To get it to work  I created a ContextResolver for ObjectMapper  then I added the JSR310Module  update  now it is JavaTimeModule instead   along with one more caveat  which was the need to set write-date-as-timestamp to false   See more at the documentation for the JSR310 module  Here s an example of what I used   Dependency   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt com fasterxml jackson datatype lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jackson-datatype-jsr310 lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 4 0 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    Note  One problem I faced with this is that the jackson-annotation version pulled in by another dependency  used version 2 3 2  which cancelled out the 2 4 required by the jsr310  What happened was I got a NoClassDefFound for ObjectIdResolver  which is a 2 4 class  So I just needed to line up the included dependency versions  ContextResolver  import com fasterxml jackson databind ObjectMapper  import com fasterxml jackson databind SerializationFeature  import com fasterxml jackson datatype jsr310 JSR310Module  import javax ws rs ext ContextResolver  import javax ws rs ext Provider    Provider public class ObjectMapperContextResolver implements ContextResolver lt ObjectMapper gt          private final ObjectMapper MAPPER       public ObjectMapperContextResolver             MAPPER   new ObjectMapper               Now you should use JavaTimeModule instead         MAPPER registerModule new JSR310Module             MAPPER configure SerializationFeature WRITE DATES AS TIMESTAMPS  false               Override     public ObjectMapper getContext Class lt   gt  type            return MAPPER              Resource class   Path  person   public class LocalDateResource         GET      Produces MediaType APPLICATION JSON      public Response getPerson             Person person   new Person            person birthDate   LocalDate now            return Response ok person  build                POST      Consumes MediaType APPLICATION JSON      public Response createPerson Person person            return Response ok                  DateTimeFormatter ISO DATE format person birthDate   build               public static class Person           public LocalDate birthDate            Test     curl -v http   localhost 8080 api person   Result    birthDate   2015-03-01        curl -v -POST -H  Content-Type application json  -d     birthDate     2015-03-01     http   localhost 8080 api person   Result  2015-03-01     See also here for JAXB solution   UPDATE  The JSR310Module is deprecated as of version 2 7 of Jackson  Instead  you should register the module JavaTimeModule  It is still the same dependency

https   stackoverflow com a 53251526 1282532 is the simplest way to serialize deserialize property  I have two concerns regarding this approach - up to some point violation of DRY principle and high coupling between pojo and mapper   public class Trade        JsonFormat pattern    yyyyMMdd        JsonDeserialize using   LocalDateDeserializer class       JsonSerialize using   LocalDateSerializer class      private LocalDate tradeDate       JsonFormat pattern    yyyyMMdd        JsonDeserialize using   LocalDateDeserializer class       JsonSerialize using   LocalDateSerializer class      private LocalDate maturityDate       JsonFormat pattern    yyyyMMdd        JsonDeserialize using   LocalDateDeserializer class       JsonSerialize using   LocalDateSerializer class      private LocalDate entryDate      In case you have POJO with multiple LocalDate fields it s better to configure mapper instead of POJO  It can be as simple as https   stackoverflow com a 35062824 1282532 if you are using ISO-8601 values   2019-01-31    In case you need to handle custom format the code will be like this   ObjectMapper mapper   new ObjectMapper    JavaTimeModule javaTimeModule   new JavaTimeModule    javaTimeModule addDeserializer LocalDate class  new LocalDateDeserializer DateTimeFormatter ofPattern  yyyyMMdd      javaTimeModule addSerializer LocalDate class  new LocalDateSerializer DateTimeFormatter ofPattern  yyyyMMdd      mapper registerModule javaTimeModule     The logic is written just once  it can be reused for multiple POJO

As of 2020 and Jackson 2 10 1 there s no need for any special code  it s just a matter of telling Jackson what you want   ObjectMapper objectMapper   new ObjectMapper        Register module that knows how to serialize java time objects    Provided by jackson-datatype-jsr310 objectMapper registerModule new JavaTimeModule         Ask Jackson to serialize dates as String  ISO-8601 by default  objectMapper disable SerializationFeature WRITE DATES AS TIMESTAMPS     This has already been mentioned in this answer  I m adding a unit test verifying the functionality   import com fasterxml jackson annotation JsonFormat  import com fasterxml jackson core JsonProcessingException  import com fasterxml jackson databind ObjectMapper  import com fasterxml jackson databind SerializationFeature  import com fasterxml jackson datatype jsr310 JavaTimeModule  import lombok Data  import org junit jupiter api Test   import java time LocalDate   import static org junit jupiter api Assertions assertEquals   public class LocalDateSerializationTest         Data     static class TestBean              Accept default ISO-8601 format         LocalDate birthDate             Use custom format          JsonFormat shape   JsonFormat Shape STRING  pattern    dd MM yyyy           LocalDate birthDateWithCustomFormat              Test     void serializeDeserializeTest   throws JsonProcessingException           ObjectMapper objectMapper   new ObjectMapper                Register module that knows how to serialize java time objects         objectMapper registerModule new JavaTimeModule                 Ask Jackson to serialize dates as String  ISO-8601 by default          objectMapper disable SerializationFeature WRITE DATES AS TIMESTAMPS               The JSON string after serialization         String json       birthDate     2000-01-02     birthDateWithCustomFormat     03 02 2001                  The object after deserialization         TestBean object   new TestBean            object setBirthDate LocalDate of 2000  1  2            object setBirthDateWithCustomFormat LocalDate of 2001  2  3                Assert serialization         assertEquals json  objectMapper writeValueAsString object                Assert deserialization         assertEquals object  objectMapper readValue json  TestBean class              TestBean uses Lombok to generate the boilerplate for the bean

If your request contains an object like this          year   1900       month   1       day   20     Then you can use   data class DateObject      val day  Int      val month  Int      val year  Int   class LocalDateConverter   StdConverter lt DateObject  LocalDate gt          override fun convert value  DateObject   LocalDate           return value run   LocalDate of year  month  day              Above the field    JsonDeserialize converter   LocalDateConverter  class  val dateOfBirth  LocalDate   The code is in Kotlin but this would work for Java too of course

Since LocalDateSerializer turns it into   year month day    a json array  rather than  year-month-day   a json string  by default  and since I don t want to require any special ObjectMapper setup  you can make LocalDateSerializer generate strings if you disable SerializationFeature WRITE DATES AS TIMESTAMPS but that requires additional setup to your ObjectMapper   I use the following   imports   import com fasterxml jackson databind ser std ToStringSerializer  import com fasterxml jackson datatype jsr310 deser LocalDateDeserializer    code      generates  yyyy-MM-dd  output  JsonSerialize using   ToStringSerializer class     handles  yyyy-MM-dd  input just fine  note   yyyy-M-d  format will not work   JsonDeserialize using   LocalDateDeserializer class  private LocalDate localDate    And now I can just use new ObjectMapper   to read and write my objects without any special setup
