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.

    You can also browse Jackson Databind Source Code below:

     * Class that defines simple API implemented by objects that create value
     * instances.  Some or all of properties of value instances may 
     * be initialized by instantiator, rest being populated by deserializer,
     * to which value instance is passed.
     * Since different kinds of JSON values (structured and scalar)
     * may be bound to Java values, in some cases instantiator
     * fully defines resulting value; this is the case when JSON value
     * is a scalar value (String, number, boolean).
     *<p>
     * Note that this type is not parameterized (even though it would seemingly
     * make sense), because such type information cannot be use effectively
     * during runtime: access is always using either wildcard type, or just
     * basic {@link java.lang.Object}; and so adding type parameter seems
     * like unnecessary extra work.
     *<p>
     * Actual implementations are strongly recommended to be based on
     * {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std.StdValueInstantiator}
     * which implements all methods, and as such will be compatible
     * across versions even if new methods were added to this interface.
