Annotation Type JsonStrict

@Retention(CLASS)
@Target(TYPE)
public @interface JsonStrict

Refuses a body that carries a member this class does not declare.

By default an unknown member is ignored, as a Spring Boot application ignores one, so a newer client can talk to an older server. A contract that would rather hear about a misspelt member than lose it silently marks the class: the read then fails with the member's path, for example $.items[2].colour: unknown member. Names a field lists in JsonProperty.aliases() are known; names of JsonIgnore fields are not.
