public Interface Instantiatable<T>

Known Direct Implementers: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util.DefaultPrettyPrinter

Add-on interface used to indicate things that may be "blueprint" objects which can not be used as is, but are used for creating usable per-process (serialization, deserialization) instances, using createInstance method.

Note that some implementations may choose to implement createInstance by simply returning 'this': this is acceptable if instances are stateless.

Since: 2.1
