Easy Jackson YAML Parsing with Kotlin

data.yaml

username: "Test"
password: "123456"

example.kt

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper
import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.kotlin.readValue
import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.kotlin.jacksonObjectMapper
import java.nio.file.Path

val mapper = jacksonObjectMapper()

data class UserDto(val username: String, val password: String)

val user: UserDto = mapper.readValue(Path.of("data.yml").toFile())
// or, using the below extension function:
val user: UserDto = mapper.readValue(Path.of("data.yml"))

extensions.kt

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper
import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.kotlin.readValue
import java.nio.file.Path

// Extension function taking in Path as a parameter for ease of use

inline fun <reified T> ObjectMapper.readValue(src: Path): T = readValue(src.toFile())
