```
public class ObjectMapper
extends com.fasterxml.jackson.core.ObjectCodec
implements com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned, Serializable
```
ObjectMapper provides functionality for reading and writing JSON, either to and from basic POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects), or to and from a general-purpose JSON Tree Model (JsonNode), as well as related functionality for performing conversions. It is also highly customizable to work both with different styles of JSON content, and to support more advanced Object concepts such as polymorphism and Object identity. ObjectMapper also acts as a factory for more advanced ObjectReader and ObjectWriter classes. Mapper (and ObjectReaders, ObjectWriters it constructs) will use instances of JsonParser and JsonGenerator for implementing actual reading/writing of JSON. Note that although most read and write methods are exposed through this class, some of the functionality is only exposed via ObjectReader and ObjectWriter: specifically, reading/writing of longer sequences of values is only available through ObjectReader.readValues(InputStream) and ObjectWriter.writeValues(OutputStream).
Simplest usage is of form:
```
  final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // can use static singleton, inject: just make sure to reuse!
  MyValue value = new MyValue();
  // ... and configure
  File newState = new File("my-stuff.json");
  mapper.writeValue(newState, value); // writes JSON serialization of MyValue instance
  // or, read
  MyValue older = mapper.readValue(new File("my-older-stuff.json"), MyValue.class);

  // Or if you prefer JSON Tree representation:
  JsonNode root = mapper.readTree(newState);
  // and find values by, for example, using a JsonPointer expression:
  int age = root.at("/personal/age").getValueAsInt(); 
```
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. Usage via ObjectCodec is, however, usually only for cases where dependency to ObjectMapper is either not possible (from Streaming API), or undesireable (when only relying on Streaming API).
Mapper instances are fully thread-safe provided that ALL configuration of the instance occurs before ANY read or write calls. If configuration of a mapper instance is modified after first usage, changes may or may not take effect, and configuration calls themselves may fail. If you need to use different configuration, you have two main possibilities:
- Construct and use ObjectReader for reading, ObjectWriter for writing. Both types are fully immutable and you can freely create new instances with different configuration using either factory methods of ObjectMapper, or readers/writers themselves. Construction of new ObjectReaders and ObjectWriters is a very light-weight operation so it is usually appropriate to create these on per-call basis, as needed, for configuring things like optional indentation of JSON.
- If the specific kind of configurability is not available via ObjectReader and ObjectWriter, you may need to use multiple ObjectMapper instead (for example: you cannot change mix-in annotations on-the-fly; or, set of custom (de)serializers). To help with this usage, you may want to use method copy() which creates a clone of the mapper with specific configuration, and allows configuration of the copied instance before it gets used. Note that copy() operation is as expensive as constructing a new ObjectMapper instance: if possible, you should still pool and reuse mappers if you intend to use them for multiple operations.
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).
Notes on security: use "default typing" feature (see enableDefaultTyping()) is a potential security risk, if used with untrusted content (content generated by untrusted external parties). If so, you may want to construct a custom TypeResolverBuilder implementation to limit possible types to instantiate, (using setDefaultTyping(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype.TypeResolverBuilder<?>)).

    Mapping that defines how to apply mix-in annotations: key is the type to received additional annotations, and value is the type that has annotations to "mix in".
    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)

  - _serializerProvider
```
protected DefaultSerializerProvider _serializerProvider
```

  - _rootDeserializers
```
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 successful 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.
    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(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonFactory jf)
```
    Constructs instance that uses specified JsonFactory for constructing necessary JsonParsers and/or JsonGenerators.
  - ObjectMapper
```
protected ObjectMapper(ObjectMapper src)
```
    Copy-constructor, mostly used to support copy().

                    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

  - 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.

```
public ObjectMapper setMixIns(Map<Class<?>,Class<?>> sourceMixins)
```
    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.
    Note that this method will CLEAR any previously defined mix-ins for this mapper.

    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

```
    Method for accessing currently configured visibility checker; object used for determining whether given property element (method, field, constructor) can be auto-detected or not.
  - setVisibility
```
public ObjectMapper setVisibility(VisibilityChecker<?> vc)
```
    Method for setting currently configured default VisibilityChecker, object used for determining whether given property element (method, field, constructor) can be auto-detected or not. This default checker is used as the base visibility: per-class overrides (both via annotations and per-type config overrides) can further change these settings.
    
    Since:
    
    2.6
  - setVisibility
```
public ObjectMapper setVisibility(com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.PropertyAccessor forMethod,
                                  com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.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:

```
    Method for enabling automatic inclusion of type information ("Default Typing") -- needed for proper deserialization of polymorphic types (unless types have been annotated with JsonTypeInfo) -- using "As.PROPERTY" inclusion mechanism and specified property name to use for inclusion (default being "@class" since default type information always uses class name as type identifier)
    NOTE: choice of PolymorphicTypeValidator to pass is critical for security as allowing all subtypes can be risky for untrusted content.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ptv - Validator used to verify that actual subtypes to deserialize are valid against whatever criteria validator uses: important in case where untrusted content is deserialized.

```
public ObjectMapper setDefaultTyping(TypeResolverBuilder<?> typer)
```
    Method for enabling automatic inclusion of type information ("Default Typing"), using specified handler object for determining which types this affects, as well as details of how information is embedded.
    NOTE: use of Default Typing can be a potential security risk if incoming content comes from untrusted sources, so care should be taken to use a TypeResolverBuilder that can limit allowed classes to deserialize. Note in particular that StdTypeResolverBuilder DOES NOT limit applicability but creates type (de)serializers for all types.

  - configOverride
```
public MutableConfigOverride configOverride(Class<?> type)
```
    Accessor for getting a mutable configuration override object for given type, needed to add or change per-type overrides applied to properties of given type. Usage is through returned object by calling "setter" methods, which directly modify override object and take effect directly. For example you can do
```
   mapper.configOverride(java.util.Date.class)
       .setFormat(JsonFormat.Value.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd"));
```
    to change the default format to use for properties of type Date (possibly further overridden by per-property annotations)

  - getNodeFactory
```
public JsonNodeFactory getNodeFactory()
```
    Method that can be used to get hold of JsonNodeFactory that this mapper will use when directly constructing root JsonNode instances for Trees.

```
   getDeserializationConfig().getNodeFactory()
```

```
    Method for removing all registered DeserializationProblemHandlers instances from this mapper.
  - setConfig
```
public ObjectMapper setConfig(DeserializationConfig config)
```
    Method that allows overriding of the underlying DeserializationConfig object. It is added as a fallback method that may be used if no other configuration modifier method works: it should not be used if there are alternatives, and its use is generally discouraged.
    NOTE: only use this method if you know what you are doing -- it allows by-passing some of checks applied to other configuration methods. Also keep in mind that as with all configuration of ObjectMapper, this is only thread-safe if done before calling any deserialization methods.

```
    Method for configuring this mapper to use specified FilterProvider for mapping Filter Ids to actual filter instances.
    Note that usually it is better to use method writer(FilterProvider); however, sometimes this method is more convenient. For example, some frameworks only allow configuring of ObjectMapper instances and not ObjectWriters.

    Method that allows overriding of the underlying SerializationConfig object, which contains serialization-specific configuration settings. It is added as a fallback method that may be used if no other configuration modifier method works: it should not be used if there are alternatives, and its use is generally discouraged.
    NOTE: only use this method if you know what you are doing -- it allows by-passing some of checks applied to other configuration methods. Also keep in mind that as with all configuration of ObjectMapper, this is only thread-safe if done before calling any serialization methods.

  - tokenStreamFactory
```
public com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonFactory tokenStreamFactory()
```
    Method that can be used to get hold of JsonFactory that this mapper uses if it needs to construct JsonParsers and/or JsonGenerators.
    WARNING: note that all ObjectReader and ObjectWriter instances created by this mapper usually share the same configured JsonFactory, so changes to its configuration will "leak". To avoid such observed changes you should always use "with()" and "without()" method of ObjectReader and ObjectWriter for changing JsonParser.Feature and JsonGenerator.Feature settings to use on per-call basis.
    
    Returns:
    
    JsonFactory that this mapper uses when it needs to construct Json parser and generators

  - setDateFormat
```
public ObjectMapper setDateFormat(DateFormat dateFormat)
```
    Method for configuring the default DateFormat to use when serializing time values as Strings, and deserializing from JSON Strings. This is preferably to directly modifying SerializationConfig and DeserializationConfig instances. If you need per-request configuration, use writer(DateFormat) to create properly configured ObjectWriter and use that; this because ObjectWriters are thread-safe whereas ObjectMapper itself is only thread-safe when configuring methods (such as this one) are NOT called.

```
    Method for overriding default TimeZone to use for formatting. Default value used is UTC (NOT default TimeZone of JVM).
  - setDefaultAttributes
```
public ObjectMapper setDefaultAttributes(ContextAttributes attrs)

    Method for reading sequence of Objects from parser stream. Sequence can be either root-level "unwrapped" sequence (without surrounding JSON array), or a sequence contained in a JSON Array. In either case JsonParser MUST point to the first token of the first element, OR not point to any token (in which case it is advanced to the next token). This means, specifically, that for wrapped sequences, parser MUST NOT point to the surrounding START_ARRAY (one that contains values to read) but rather to the token following it which is the first token of the first value to read.

  - readTree
```
public JsonNode readTree(InputStream in)
                  throws IOException
```
    Method to deserialize JSON content as tree expressed using set of JsonNode instances. Returns root of the resulting tree (where root can consist of just a single node if the current event is a value event, not container).
    If a low-level I/O problem (missing input, network error) occurs, a IOException will be thrown. If a parsing problem occurs (invalid JSON), StreamReadException will be thrown. If no content is found from input (end-of-input), Java null will be returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - Input stream used to read JSON content for building the JSON tree.
    
    Returns:
    
    a JsonNode, if valid JSON content found; null if input has no content to bind -- note, however, that if JSON null token is found, it will be represented as a non-null JsonNode (one that returns true for JsonNode.isNull()
    
    Throws:
    
    com.fasterxml.jackson.core.exc.StreamReadException - if underlying input contains invalid content of type JsonParser supports (JSON for default case)

    Method for constructing a JsonParser out of JSON tree representation.
    
    Specified by:
    
    treeAsTokens in class com.fasterxml.jackson.core.ObjectCodec
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - Root node of the tree that resulting parser will read from
  - treeToValue
```
public <T> T treeToValue(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode n,
                         Class<T> valueType)
                  throws IllegalArgumentException,
                         com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException
```
    Convenience conversion method that will bind data given JSON tree contains into specific value (usually bean) type.
    Functionally equivalent to:
```
   objectMapper.convertValue(n, valueClass);
```
    Note: inclusion of throws JsonProcessingException is not accidental since while there can be no input decoding problems, it is possible that content does not match target type: in such case various DatabindExceptions are possible. In addition IllegalArgumentException is possible in some cases, depending on whether DeserializationFeature.WRAP_EXCEPTIONS is enabled or not.
    Specified by:

  - valueToTree
```
public <T extends JsonNode> T valueToTree(Object fromValue)
                                   throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Method that is reverse of treeToValue(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode, java.lang.Class<T>): it will convert given Java value (usually bean) into its equivalent Tree mode JsonNode representation. Functionally similar to serializing value into token stream and parsing that stream back as tree model node, but more efficient as TokenBuffer is used to contain the intermediate representation instead of fully serialized contents.
    NOTE: while results are usually identical to that of serialization followed by deserialization, this is not always the case. In some cases serialization into intermediate representation will retain encapsulation of things like raw value (RawValue) or basic node identity (JsonNode). If so, result is a valid tree, but values are not re-constructed through actual format representation. So if transformation requires actual materialization of encoded content, it will be necessary to do actual serialization.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - Actual node type; usually either basic JsonNode or ObjectNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    fromValue - Java value to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    (non-null) Root node of the resulting content tree: in case of null value node for which JsonNode.isNull() returns true.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException
  - canSerialize
```
public boolean canSerialize(Class<?> type)
```
    Method that can be called to check whether mapper thinks it could serialize an instance of given Class. Check is done by checking whether a serializer can be found for the type.
    NOTE: since this method does NOT throw exceptions, but internal processing may, caller usually has little information as to why serialization would fail. If you want access to internal Exception, call canSerialize(Class, AtomicReference) instead.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if mapper can find a serializer for instances of given class (potentially serializable), false otherwise (not serializable)
  - canSerialize
```
public boolean canSerialize(Class<?> type,
                            AtomicReference<Throwable> cause)

  - canDeserialize
```
public boolean canDeserialize(JavaType type)
```
    Method that can be called to check whether mapper thinks it could deserialize an Object of given type. Check is done by checking whether a registered deserializer can be found or built for the type; if not (either by no mapping being found, or through an Exception being thrown, false is returned.
    NOTE: in case an exception is thrown during course of trying co construct matching deserializer, it will be effectively swallowed. If you want access to that exception, call canDeserialize(JavaType, AtomicReference) instead.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if mapper can find a serializer for instances of given class (potentially serializable), false otherwise (not serializable)
  - canDeserialize

```
public <T> T convertValue(Object fromValue,
                          Class<T> toValueType)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Convenience method for doing two-step conversion from given value, into instance of given value type, by writing value into temporary buffer and reading from the buffer into specified target type.
    This method is functionally similar to first serializing given value into JSON, and then binding JSON data into value of given type, but should be more efficient since full serialization does not (need to) occur. However, same converters (serializers, deserializers) will be used as for data binding, meaning same object mapper configuration works.
    Note that behavior changed slightly between Jackson 2.9 and 2.10 so that whereas earlier some optimizations were used to avoid write/read cycle in case input was of target type, from 2.10 onwards full processing is always performed. See databind#2220 for full details of the change.
    Further note that it is possible that in some cases behavior does differ from full serialize-then-deserialize cycle: in most case differences are unintentional (that is, flaws to fix) and should be reported, but the behavior is not guaranteed to be 100% the same: the goal is to allow efficient value conversions for structurally compatible Objects, according to standard Jackson configuration.
    Finally, this functionality is not designed to support "advanced" use cases, such as conversion of polymorphic values, or cases where Object Identity is used.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If conversion fails due to incompatible type; if so, root cause will contain underlying checked exception data binding functionality threw

                          JavaType toValueType)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Actual conversion implementation: instead of using existing read and write methods, much of code is inlined. Reason for this is that we must avoid root value wrapping/unwrapping both for efficiency and for correctness. If root value wrapping/unwrapping is actually desired, caller must use explicit writeValue and readValue methods.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException
  - updateValue
```
public <T> T updateValue(T valueToUpdate,
                         Object overrides)
                  throws JsonMappingException
```
    Convenience method similar to convertValue(Object, JavaType) but one in which
    Implementation is approximately as follows:
    1. Serialize `updateWithValue` into TokenBuffer
    2. Construct ObjectReader with `valueToUpdate` (using readerForUpdating(Object))
    3. Construct JsonParser (using TokenBuffer.asParser())
    4. Update using ObjectReader.readValue(JsonParser).
    5. Return `valueToUpdate`
    Note that update is "shallow" in that only first level of properties (or, immediate contents of container to update) are modified, unless properties themselves indicate that merging should be applied for contents. Such merging can be specified using annotations (see JsonMerge) as well as using "config overrides" (see configOverride(Class) and setDefaultMergeable(Boolean)).
    Parameters:
    
    valueToUpdate - Object to update
    
    overrides - Object to conceptually serialize and merge into value to update; can be thought of as a provider for overrides to apply.
    
    Returns:
    
    Either the first argument (`valueToUpdate`), if it is mutable; or a result of creating new instance that is result of "merging" values (for example, "updating" a Java array will create a new array)
    
    Throws:
    
    JsonMappingException - if there are structural incompatibilities that prevent update.
