Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`JsonWriteContext`	`clearAndGetParent()`	Method that can be used to both clear the accumulated references (specifically value set with `setCurrentValue(Object)`) that should not be retained, and returns parent (as would `getParent()` do).
`JsonWriteContext`	`createChildArrayContext()`
`JsonWriteContext`	`createChildArrayContext(Object currValue)`
`JsonWriteContext`	`createChildObjectContext()`
`JsonWriteContext`	`createChildObjectContext(Object currValue)`
`static JsonWriteContext`	`createRootContext()`	Deprecated. Since 2.3; use method that takes argument
`static JsonWriteContext`	`createRootContext(DupDetector dd)`
`String`	`getCurrentName()`	Method for accessing name associated with the current location.
`Object`	`getCurrentValue()`	Method for accessing currently active value being used by data-binding (as the source of streaming data to write, or destination of data being read), at this level in hierarchy.
`DupDetector`	`getDupDetector()`
`JsonWriteContext`	`getParent()`	Accessor for finding parent context of this context; will return null for root context.
`boolean`	`hasCurrentName()`
`JsonWriteContext`	`reset(int type)`	Internal method to allow instance reuse: DO NOT USE unless you absolutely know what you are doing.
`JsonWriteContext`	`reset(int type, Object currValue)`	Internal method to allow instance reuse: DO NOT USE unless you absolutely know what you are doing.
`void`	`setCurrentValue(Object v)`	Method to call to pass value to be returned via `JsonStreamContext.getCurrentValue()`; typically called indirectly through `JsonParser.setCurrentValue(java.lang.Object)` or `JsonGenerator.setCurrentValue(java.lang.Object)`).
`JsonWriteContext`	`withDupDetector(DupDetector dups)`
`int`	`writeFieldName(String name)`	Method that writer is to call before it writes a field name.
`int`	`writeValue()`

  - reset
```
public JsonWriteContext reset(int type)
```
    Internal method to allow instance reuse: DO NOT USE unless you absolutely know what you are doing. Clears up state (including "current value"), changes type to one specified; resets current duplicate-detection state (if any). Parent link left as-is since it is final.
    NOTE: Public since 2.12.
  - reset
```
public JsonWriteContext reset(int type,
                              Object currValue)
```
    Internal method to allow instance reuse: DO NOT USE unless you absolutely know what you are doing. Clears up state, changes type to one specified, assigns "current value"; resets current duplicate-detection state (if any). Parent link left as-is since it is final.
    NOTE: Public since 2.12.
    
    Since:
    
    2.10
  - withDupDetector
```
public JsonWriteContext withDupDetector(DupDetector dups)
```
  - getCurrentValue
```
public Object getCurrentValue()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonStreamContext
    
    Method for accessing currently active value being used by data-binding (as the source of streaming data to write, or destination of data being read), at this level in hierarchy.
    Note that "current value" is NOT populated (or used) by Streaming parser or generator; it is only used by higher-level data-binding functionality. The reason it is included here is that it can be stored and accessed hierarchically, and gets passed through data-binding.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getCurrentValue in class JsonStreamContext
    
    Returns:
    
    Currently active value, if one has been assigned.
  - setCurrentValue
```
public void setCurrentValue(Object v)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonStreamContext
    
    Method to call to pass value to be returned via JsonStreamContext.getCurrentValue(); typically called indirectly through JsonParser.setCurrentValue(java.lang.Object) or JsonGenerator.setCurrentValue(java.lang.Object)).
    
    Overrides:
    
    setCurrentValue in class JsonStreamContext
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - Current value to assign to this context
  - createRootContext
```
@Deprecated
public static JsonWriteContext createRootContext()
```
    Deprecated.
    Since 2.3; use method that takes argument
  - createRootContext
```
public static JsonWriteContext createRootContext(DupDetector dd)
```
  - createChildArrayContext
```
public JsonWriteContext createChildArrayContext()
```
  - createChildArrayContext

  - getParent
```
public final JsonWriteContext getParent()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonStreamContext
    
    Accessor for finding parent context of this context; will return null for root context.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParent in class JsonStreamContext
    
    Returns:
    
    Parent context of this context, if any; null for Root contexts
  - getCurrentName
```
public final String getCurrentName()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonStreamContext
    
    Method for accessing name associated with the current location. Non-null for FIELD_NAME and value events that directly follow field names; null for root level and array values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getCurrentName in class JsonStreamContext
    
    Returns:
    
    Current field name within context, if any; null if none
  - hasCurrentName
```
public boolean hasCurrentName()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hasCurrentName in class JsonStreamContext
    
    Returns:
    
    True if a call to JsonStreamContext.getCurrentName() would return non-null name; false otherwise
  - clearAndGetParent
```
public JsonWriteContext clearAndGetParent()
```
    Method that can be used to both clear the accumulated references (specifically value set with setCurrentValue(Object)) that should not be retained, and returns parent (as would getParent() do). Typically called when closing the active context when encountering JsonToken.END_ARRAY or JsonToken.END_OBJECT.
    
    Since:
    
    2.7
  - getDupDetector
```
public DupDetector getDupDetector()
```
  - writeFieldName
```
public int writeFieldName(String name)
                   throws JsonProcessingException
```
    Method that writer is to call before it writes a field name.
    
    Returns:
    
    Index of the field entry (0-based)
    
    Throws:
    
    JsonProcessingException
  - writeValue

public int writeValue()
