Description

Spring Boot currently provides autoconfiguration of Jackson mappers for JSON, CBOR, and XML.

I'm looking to configure add CSV mapping to my application, and it should share the same configuration as the existing three mappers.

The class that does most of the work is AbstractMapperBuilderCustomizer, but that is unfortunately package-private. In lieu of full support from Spring Boot, making that public protected would significantly ease the addition of other Jackson formats.

Research direction

Start by reading AbstractMapperBuilderCustomizer and the existing JSON, CBOR, and XML Jackson mapper autoconfiguration. Trace how their shared configuration is applied and determine what support is needed for CSV mapping. Done means CSV can use the same configuration, or the class is exposed sufficiently to enable that integration.
