Managing circular dependency in JSON response - json

Question

How do I handle the dependency between the two entities? I want to be able to get the games for a player and also players for a game. I am currently trying to do it with #JsonIdentityInfo but the result is not satisfying.
#Entity
#Table(name = "player", uniqueConstraints = { #UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "id") })
#JsonIdentityInfo(generator = ObjectIdGenerators.PropertyGenerator.class, property = "id", scope = Player.class)
public class Player{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
#ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinTable(name = "games_admins", joinColumns = { #JoinColumn(name = "player_id") }, inverseJoinColumns = {
#JoinColumn(name = "game_id") })
private Set<Game> games;
#Entity
#Table(name = "game", uniqueConstraints = { #UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "id") })
#JsonIdentityInfo(generator = ObjectIdGenerators.PropertyGenerator.class, property = "id", scope = Game.class)
public class Game{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
#ManyToMany(mappedBy = "games")
private Set<Player> players;
So when I send a GET request to get all of the players I want to receive something like this
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Player1",
"games": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "game1",
"players": [1, 2, 3]
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "game2",
"players": [1, 3]
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "game3",
"players": [1, 2]
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Player2",
"games": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "game1",
"players": [1, 2, 3]
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "game3",
"players": [1, 2]
}
]
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Player3",
"games": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "game1",
"players": [1, 2, 3]
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "game2",
"players": [1, 3]
}
]
}
]
So when we reach the "player" again we don't list the games but their ids to avoid the recursion. Same should apply for games.
But what I get is this:
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Player1",
"games": [
{
"id": 2,
"name": "game2",
"players": [
1,
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Player3",
"games": [
2,
{
"id": 1,
"name": "game1",
"players": [
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Player2",
"games": [
1,
{
"id": 3,
"name": "game3",
"players": [2, 1]
}
]
},
1,
3
]
}
]
}
]
},
1,
3
]
},
2,
3
]
