Jackson Core Source Code

Jackson is "the Java JSON library" or "the best JSON parser for Java". Or simply as "JSON for Java".

Jackson Core Source Code files are provided in the source packge (jackson-core-2.14.0-sources.jar). You can download it at Jackson Maven Website.

/**
 * Marker interface used to denote JSON Tree nodes, as far as
 * the core package knows them (which is very little): mostly
 * needed to allow {@link ObjectCodec} to have some level
 * of interoperability.
 * Most functionality is within <code>JsonNode</code>
 * base class in <code>mapper</code> package.
 *<p>
 * Note that in Jackson 1.x <code>JsonNode</code> itself
 * was part of core package: Jackson 2.x refactored this
 * since conceptually Tree Model is part of mapper package,
 * and so part visible to <code>core</code> package should
 * be minimized.
 *<p>
 * NOTE: starting with Jackson 2.2, there is more functionality
 * available via this class, and the intent was that this should
 * form actual base for multiple alternative tree representations;
 * for example, immutable trees could use different implementation
 * than mutable trees.
