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.

/**

 * as base64 encoded bytes (using default base64 encoding).

 * NOTE: since it is NOT serialized as an array, cannot use AsArraySerializer as base
 *<p>
 * NOTE: since 2.6, has been a main-level class; earlier was embedded in
 * {@link StdArraySerializers}.
