Is @JsonSerialize still around? You could annotate fields with that
annotation and jackson would delegate serializing those fields to that
particular serializer. But your code would remain largely the same - you'd
still need to check what to write depending on the field. I suppose you
could cheat by having that field be some value interface type Foo, and
implementations assigned to that field be FooMap or FooString, where
FooString would have dedicated to string serializer. Deserializing on the
other hand of such structures is painful, but nothing you couldn't handle
with @JsonDeserialize.
