ObjectMapper (jackson-databind 2.1.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.core.ObjectCodec
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

Versioned, Serializable
```
public class ObjectMapper
extends ObjectCodec
implements Versioned, Serializable
```
This mapper (or, data binder, or codec) provides functionality for converting between Java objects (instances of JDK provided core classes, beans), and matching JSON constructs. It will use instances of JsonParser and JsonGenerator for implementing actual reading/writing of JSON.
The main conversion API is defined in ObjectCodec, so that implementation details of this class need not be exposed to streaming parser and generator classes.
Note on caching: root-level deserializers are always cached, and accessed using full (generics-aware) type information. This is different from caching of referenced types, which is more limited and is done only for a subset of all deserializer types. The main reason for difference is that at root-level there is no incoming reference (and hence no referencing property, no referral information or annotations to produce differing deserializers), and that the performance impact greatest at root level (since it'll essentially cache the full graph of deserializers involved).

    Annotations associated with the value classes will be used to override annotations of the key class, associated with the same field or method. They can be further masked by sub-classes: you can think of it as injecting annotations between the target class and its sub-classes (or interfaces)

```
protected final ConcurrentHashMap<JavaType,JsonDeserializer<Object>> _rootDeserializers
```
    We will use a separate main-level Map for keeping track of root-level deserializers. This is where most succesful cache lookups get resolved. Map will contain resolvers for all kinds of types, including container types: this is different from the component cache which will only cache bean deserializers.
    Given that we don't expect much concurrency for additions (should very quickly converge to zero after startup), let's explicitly define a low concurrency setting.
    Since version 1.5, these may are either "raw" deserializers (when no type information is needed for base type), or type-wrapped deserializers (if it is needed)
- Constructor Detail
  - ObjectMapper
```
public ObjectMapper()
```
    Default constructor, which will construct the default JsonFactory as necessary, use SerializerProvider as its SerializerProvider, and BeanSerializerFactory as its SerializerFactory. This means that it can serialize all standard JDK types, as well as regular Java Beans (based on method names and Jackson-specific annotations), but does not support JAXB annotations.
  - ObjectMapper
```
public ObjectMapper(JsonFactory jf)
```
    Constructs instance that uses specified JsonFactory for constructing necessary JsonParsers and/or JsonGenerators.

  - ObjectMapper
```
public ObjectMapper(JsonFactory jf,
            DefaultSerializerProvider sp,
            DefaultDeserializationContext dc)
```
    Constructs instance that uses specified JsonFactory for constructing necessary JsonParsers and/or JsonGenerators, and uses given providers for accessing serializers and deserializers.
    
    Parameters:
    jf - JsonFactory to use: if null, a new MappingJsonFactory will be constructed
    sp - SerializerProvider to use: if null, a SerializerProvider will be constructed
    dc - Blueprint deserialization context instance to use for creating actual context objects; if null, will construct standard DeserializationContext
- Method Detail
  - copy
```
public ObjectMapper copy()
```
    Method for creating a new ObjectMapper instance that has same initial configuration as this instance. Note that this also requires making a copy of the underlying JsonFactory instance.
    Method is typically used when multiple, differently configured mappers are needed. Although configuration is shared, cached serializers and deserializers are NOT shared, which means that the new instance may be re-configured before use; meaning that it behaves the same way as if an instance was constructed from scratch.

```
    Method that returns the shared default DeserializationConfig object that defines configuration settings for deserialization.
    Note that since instances are immutable, you can NOT change settings by accessing an instance and calling methods: this will simply create new instance of config object.
  - getDeserializationContext
```

    Method to use for defining mix-in annotations to use for augmenting annotations that processable (serializable / deserializable) classes have. Mixing in is done when introspecting class annotations and properties. Map passed contains keys that are target classes (ones to augment with new annotation overrides), and values that are source classes (have annotations to use for augmentation). Annotations from source classes (and their supertypes) will override annotations that target classes (and their super-types) have.
  - addMixInAnnotations
```
public final void addMixInAnnotations(Class<?> target,
                       Class<?> mixinSource)
```
    Method to use for adding mix-in annotations to use for augmenting specified class or interface. All annotations from mixinSource are taken to override annotations that target (or its supertypes) has.
    
    Parameters:
    target - Class (or interface) whose annotations to effectively override
    mixinSource - Class (or interface) whose annotations are to be "added" to target's annotations, overriding as necessary

  - setVisibilityChecker
```
public void setVisibilityChecker(VisibilityChecker<?> vc)
```
    Method for setting currently configured visibility checker; object used for determining whether given property element (method, field, constructor) can be auto-detected or not. This default checker is used if no per-class overrides are defined.
  - setVisibility
```
public ObjectMapper setVisibility(PropertyAccessor forMethod,
                         JsonAutoDetect.Visibility visibility)
```
    Convenience method that allows changing configuration for underlying VisibilityCheckers, to change details of what kinds of properties are auto-detected. Basically short cut for doing:
```
  mapper.setVisibilityChecker(
     mapper.getVisibilityChecker().withVisibility(forMethod, visibility)
  );
```
    one common use case would be to do:
```
  mapper.setVisibility(JsonMethod.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
```
    which would make all member fields serializable without further annotations, instead of just public fields (default setting).
    Parameters:
    forMethod - Type of property descriptor affected (field, getter/isGetter, setter, creator)
    visibility - Minimum visibility to require for the property descriptors of type
    
    Returns:
    Modified mapper instance (that is, "this"), to allow chaining of configuration calls

                Class<T> valueType)
              throws JsonProcessingException
```
    Convenience conversion method that will bind data given JSON tree contains into specific value (usually bean) type.
    Equivalent to:
```
   objectMapper.convertValue(n, valueClass);
```

```
    Reverse of treeToValue(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode, java.lang.Class<T>); given a value (usually bean), will construct equivalent JSON Tree representation. Functionally same as if serializing value into JSON and parsing JSON as tree, but more efficient.
    
    Type Parameters:
    T - Actual node type; usually either basic JsonNode or ObjectNode
    Parameters:
    fromValue - Bean value to convert
    
    Returns:
    Root node of the resulting JSON tree

```
    Convenience method for doing two-step conversion from given value, into instance of given value type. This is functionality equivalent to first serializing given value into JSON, then binding JSON data into value of given type, but may be executed without fully serializing into JSON. Same converters (serializers, deserializers) will be used as for data binding, meaning same object mapper configuration works.

```
    Actual conversion implementation: instead of using existing read and write methods, much of code is inlined. Reason for this is that we must avoid wrapping/unwrapping both for efficiency and for correctness. If wrapping/unwrapping is actually desired, caller must use explicit writeValue and readValue methods.
