Answer
Failing to handle unknown properties can lead to exceptions.
When using Jackson's ObjectMapper to deserialize JSON from external APIs, it's important to configure it to ignore unknown properties. This prevents the application from crashing if the JSON structure changes unexpectedly. For instance, if a third-party API adds new fields to the JSON response, your application should still work seamlessly.
