Jackson Data Binding Source Code

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

  • Jackson Data Binding module allows you to converts JSON to and from POJO (Plain Old Java Object) using property accessor or using annotations.
  • Jackson Databind Source Code files are provided in the source packge (jackson-databind-2.14.0-sources.jar). You can download it at Jackson Maven Website.

     * Base class for all JSON nodes, which form the basis of JSON
     * Tree Model that Jackson implements.
     * One way to think of these nodes is to consider them
     * similar to DOM nodes in XML DOM trees.
     *<p>
     * As a general design rule, most accessors ("getters") are included
     * in this base class, to allow for traversing structure without
     * type casts. Most mutators, however, need to be accessed through
     * specific sub-classes (such as <code>ObjectNode</code>
     * and <code>ArrayNode</code>).
     * This seems sensible because proper type
     * information is generally available when building or modifying
     * trees, but less often when reading a tree (newly built from
     * parsed JSON content).
     *<p>
     * Actual concrete sub-classes can be found from package
     * {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node}.
     *<p>
     * Note that it is possible to "read" from nodes, using
     * method {@link TreeNode#traverse(ObjectCodec)}, which will result in
     * a {@link JsonParser} being constructed. This can be used for (relatively)
     * efficient conversations between different representations; and it is what
     * core databind uses for methods like {@link ObjectMapper#treeToValue(TreeNode, Class)}
     * and {@link ObjectMapper#treeAsTokens(TreeNode)}
