Description

Interface Summary

PrettyPrinter

Interface for objects that implement pretty printer functionality, such as indentation.

Class Summary

Base64Variant	Abstract base class used to define specific details of which variant of Base64 encoding/decoding is to be used.
Base64Variants	Container for commonly used Base64 variants.
JsonFactory	The main factory class of Jackson package, used to configure and construct reader (aka parser, JsonParser) and writer (aka generator, JsonGenerator) instances.
JsonGenerator	Base class that defines public API for writing Json content.
JsonLocation	Object that encapsulates Location information used for reporting parsing (or potentially generation) errors, as well as current location within input streams.
JsonNode	Base class for all JSON nodes, which form the basis of JSON Tree Model that Jackson implements.
JsonParser	Base class that defines public API for reading JSON content.
JsonStreamContext	Shared base class for streaming processing contexts used during reading and writing of Json content using Streaming API.
ObjectCodec	Abstract class that defines the interface that JsonParser and JsonGenerator use to serialize and deserialize regular Java objects (POJOs aka Beans).

Enum Summary

JsonEncoding	Enumeration that defines legal encodings that can be used for JSON content, based on list of allowed encodings from JSON specification.
JsonGenerator.Feature	Enumeration that defines all togglable features for generators.
JsonParser.Feature	Enumeration that defines all togglable features for parsers.
JsonParser.NumberType	Enumeration of possible "native" (optimal) types that can be used for numbers.
JsonToken	Enumeration for basic token types used for returning results of parsing JSON content.

Exception Summary

JsonGenerationException	Exception type for exceptions during JSON writing, such as trying to output content in wrong context (non-matching end-array or end-object, for example).
JsonParseException	Exception type for parsing problems, used when non-well-formed content (content that does not conform to JSON syntax as per specification) is encountered.
JsonProcessingException	Intermediate base class for all problems encountered when processing (parsing, generating) JSON content that are not pure I/O problems.

Package org.codehaus.jackson Description

Main public API classes of the core streaming JSON processor: most importantly JsonFactory used for constructing Json parser (JsonParser) and generator (JsonParser) instances.

Public API of the higher-level mapping interfaces ("Mapping API") is found from under org.codehaus.jackson.map and not included here, except for following base interfaces:

• JsonNode is included within Streaming API to support integration of the Tree Model (which is based on JsonNode) with the basic parsers and generators (iff using mapping-supporting factory: which is part of Mapping API, not core)
• ObjectCodec is included so that reference to the object capable of serializing/deserializing Objects to/from JSON (usually, ObjectMapper) can be exposed, without adding direct dependency to implementation.
