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

Jackson Databind Source Code files are provided in the source packge (jackson-databind-2.12.4-sources.jar). You can download it at Jackson Maven Website.

 * pre-processing done by {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.BeanDeserializer}
 * to basically transform external type id into structure that looks more like
 * "wrapper-array" style inclusion. This intermediate form is chosen to allow
 * supporting all possible JSON structures.
