Answer
Handling unknown or nested fields. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
A common pitfall with ObjectMapper is not configuring it to handle unknown fields or deeply nested structures, which can throw exceptions during deserialization. Using `mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);` can help ignore unknown fields, while nested JSON requires careful class design matching the JSON structure.
