+The `camel-jackson` module allows integrating Jackson as a
xref:manual::type-converter.adoc[Type Converter].
+This works in similar ways that xref:dataformats:jaxb-dataformat.adoc[JAXB]
integrates with Camels type converter.

+To use this `camel-jackson` must be enabled, which is done by setting the
following options
+on the `CamelContext` global options, as shown:

+[source,java]
+----
+// Enable Jackson JSON type converter.
+camelContext.getGlobalOptions().put("CamelJacksonEnableTypeConverter", "true");
+// Allow Jackson JSON to convert to pojo types also
+// (by default Jackson only converts to String and other simple types)

+The `camel-jackson` type converter integrates with
xref:dataformats:jaxb-dataformat.adoc[JAXB]
+which means you can annotate POJO class with `JAXB` annotations that Jackson
can use.
+You can also use Jacksons own annotations on your POJO classes.
