Answer
Structured JSON mapping provides type safety and easier maintenance.
Using structured JSON mapping with tools like Jackson's ObjectMapper allows you to directly convert JSON strings into Java objects. This approach reduces errors associated with manual parsing, such as mismatched types or missing fields, and makes code easier to maintain. For example, when interacting with a shipping API, you can map a JSON response directly to a ShippingDetails class, enhancing readability and reducing the risk of runtime errors.
