- Method Detail
  - names
```
void names(PropertyNames names)
```
    Set the current property names.
    Can be used by the reader to optimise the reading of known names.
  - beginStream
```
default void beginStream()
```
    Read the beginning of an ARRAY or x-json-stream (new line delimited json content).
  - endStream
```
default void endStream()
```

  - beginArray
```
void beginArray()
```
    Read array begin.
  - endArray
```
void endArray()
```
    Read array end.
  - hasNextElement
```
boolean hasNextElement()
```
    Return true if there is a next element in an ARRAY.
  - beginObject
```
void beginObject()
```
    Read begin object.
  - endObject
```
void endObject()
```
    Read end object.
  - hasNextField
```
boolean hasNextField()
```
    Return true if there is a next field to be read in an OBJECT.
  - nextField
```
String nextField()
```
    Return the next field.
  - isNullValue
```
boolean isNullValue()
```
    Return true if the value to be read is a null.
  - readBoolean
```
boolean readBoolean()
```
    Read and return the next value as a boolean.
  - readInt
```
int readInt()
```
    Read and return the next value as an int.
  - readLong
```
long readLong()
```
    Read and return the next value as a long.
  - readDouble
```
double readDouble()
```
    Read and return the next value as a double.
  - readDecimal
```
BigDecimal readDecimal()
```
    Read and return the next value as a BigDecimal.
  - readBigInteger
```
BigInteger readBigInteger()
```
    Read and return the next value as a BigInteger.
  - readString
```
String readString()
```
    Read and return the next value as String.
  - readBinary
```
byte[] readBinary()
```
    Read and return the binary value from base64.
  - readRaw
```
String readRaw()
```
    Read and return raw json content as a String.
  - location
```
String location()
```
    Return the current location. This is typically used when reporting errors.
  - currentToken
```
JsonReader.Token currentToken()
```
    Return the current Token.
  - close
```
void close()
```
    Close the resources of the reader.
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface AutoCloseable
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface Closeable
  - skipValue
```
void skipValue()
```
    Skip the next value.
  - unmappedField
```
void unmappedField(String fieldName)
```
    Reading json with an unmapped field, throw an Exception if failOnUnmapped is true.
  - streamArray
```
default JsonReader streamArray(boolean streamArray)
```
    Explicitly state if the streaming content contains ARRAY '[' and ']' tokens.
    The builtin avaje-jsonb parser detects this automatically. Effectively we only need to set this when we are using the Jackson core parser.
    try (JsonReader reader = jsonb.reader(arrayJson)) { // content contains ARRAY '[' and ']' tokens, use streamArray(true) Stream<MyBasic> asStream = type.stream(reader.streamArray(true)); asStream.forEach(...); }
    Parameters:
    
    streamArray - When true the content is expected to contain ARRAY '[' and ']' tokens.
