Jackson deserialize array of json objects ignoring some of the objects

Question

Suppose I have this JSON Array

[{"type":"type1", "id":"1", "name":"John"},
 {"type":"type1", "id":"2", "name":"Jane", 
 {"type":"type2", "id":"3", "name":"Joseph"}]

And I have these Java objects

public class Person {
    Long id;
    String name;
    String type;
}

public class MainClass {
    List<Person> persons;
}

Is there a way to deserialize the JSON array such that only those that are type type1 will be included? Those with type2 should not be set as null but completely ignored.

Added the type field. How will that help the deserialization? — Gino Corpuz

I think you can achieve that with Jackson Filter

I think Jackson Filter is for serializing an Object to Json.
