This commit improves the json starter to bring the core starter (as any
other starters do). `spring-web` is now also added as it contains the
Spring's core jackson support.
Closes gh-10031
This commit adds the `jackson-module-kotlin` dependency to the JSON
starter. As the other modules selected there, the goal is to provide
additional Jackson support to Spring Boot projects.
In this case, the Kotlin language is supported by many Spring projects
and this module is essential for (de)serialization with Jackson.
Note that the module has a transitive dependency on `kotlin-reflect`,
but this dependency should be brought by the application itself.
Spring Framework will configure the Kotlin Jackson module *only if* the
Kotlin sdk is present.
Closes gh-9803
This commit adds a new json starter that gathers the core bits to read
and write json with dedicated Java 8 extensions.
The web-related starters have been improved to use the new starter
rather than relying on `jackson-databind` directly.
Closes gh-9297
