org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected character was expecting double-quote to start field name at Source: java.io.StringReader line: 1, column: 3]

You have unquoted field names in the JSON string, which is non-standard!

{
    name : "Markzi"
}

You can configure the ObjectMapper to handle this

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.configure(JsonParser.Feature.ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES, true);
