How to convert the specific json api

[VW-LAMANDO]

Hi,

I met one issue, i need to request to webserver with JSON API.
request type shows below
{
"data":{
"type":"something"
}
}

I define the POJO.
after i define like below
@type("something")
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Something {
@id
public String id;
}

the serialized string shows below:
{
"data": {
"type": "something",
"attributes": {}
}
}

how to disable the "attributes": {} ?
Wait your kindly reply. ^^

You can't as that would break the spec. See the docs for examples http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-top-level

Sure you can:

http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-objects

In addition, a resource object MAY contain any of these top-level members:

    attributes: an attributes object representing some of the resource’s data.
    relationships: a relationships object describing relationships between the resource and other JSON API resources.
    links: a links object containing links related to the resource.
    meta: a meta object containing non-standard meta-information about a resource that can not be represented as an attribute or relationship.

and

http://jsonapi.org/format/#crud-creating

A resource can be created by sending a POST request to a URL that represents a collection of resources. The request MUST include a single resource object as primary data. The resource object MUST contain at least a type member.

doesn't specify that an attributes must be present.
