I have been doing web development by 2 years now, mostly with a Java EE and Spring stack. My current project involves a front-end in reactJS + REST back-end (spring, java, hibernate) where Jackson is the one responsible for parsing the data passed between front and back ends. This is the first time I use reactJS instead of server side rendering templates like JSP or Thymeleaf and I am actually enjoying it, mainly because front-end code is cleaner. But one thing that now makes me waste a lot of time is to have to exactly spell the JSON fields in React equal to the ones defined in Java objects. For example if I am posting a Json from react that has a field named 'person_name', the REST service receives the JSON and via Jackson tries to parse it to a Java object that has a field named 'personName' and I have a bug. Wouldn't be interesting to include a flag for fuzzy mapping? Like with fuzzy=true, that type of mapping would occur? This would allow for a nice semantic way of programming, instead of always checking between windows the exact spelling of the fields. Well just throwing an idea out there.
