    @jdye64 The client dto package was designed to be simple POJOs and with no dependencies to make it easy to consume for any clients of the REST API. Unfortunately, along the way we ended up adding a dependency on the documentation library (swagger).
    
    This proposed change will add another dependency on a serialization library that the client may or may not be using. We have left all serialization logic to be specified via JAXB annotations to try to remain agnostic to whatever serialization or REST library the client is using.
    
    In you happen to be using Jackson, things should (de)serialize correctly by just setting the (de)serializationConfig to use the JAXB annotation introspector. Here's an example from the NiFi codebase [1].
