pack-priv Class IonValueDeserializer

Overrides tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.createContextual.

Doc from tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.createContextual.

Method called to see if a different (or differently configured) deserializer is needed to deserialize values of specified property. Note that instance that this method is called on is typically shared one and as a result method should NOT modify this instance but rather construct and return a new instance. This instance should only be returned as-is, in case it is already suitable for use.

Implements abstract tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.deserialize.

Doc from tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.deserialize.

Method that can be called to ask implementation to deserialize JSON content into the value type this serializer handles. Returned instance is to be constructed by method itself.

Pre-condition for this method is that the parser points to the first event that is part of value to deserializer (and which is never JSON 'null' literal, more on this below): for simple types it may be the only value; and for structured types the Object start marker or a FIELD_NAME.

The two possible input conditions for structured types result from polymorphism via fields. In the ordinary case, Jackson calls this method when it has encountered an OBJECT_START, and the method implementation must advance to the next token to see the first field name. If the application configures polymorphism via a field, then the object looks like the following.

      {
          "@class": "class name",
          ...
      }
  

       if (p.currentToken() == JsonToken.START_OBJECT) {
         p.nextToken();
       }
  

Post-condition is that the parser will point to the last event that is part of deserialized value (or in case deserialization fails, event that was not recognized or usable, which may be the same event as the one it pointed to upon call).

Handling null values (JsonToken.VALUE_NULL)
: Note that this method is never called for the JSON null literal to avoid every deserializer from having to handle null values. Instead, the ValueDeserializer#getNullValue(DeserializationContext) method is called to produce a null value. To influence null handling, custom deserializers should override ValueDeserializer#getNullValue(DeserializationContext) and usually also ValueDeserializer#getNullAccessPattern().

Overrides tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.getNullAccessPattern.

Implements tools.jackson.databind.deser.NullValueProvider.getNullAccessPattern.

Doc from tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.getNullAccessPattern.

This method may be called in conjunction with calls to getNullValue(DeserializationContext), to check whether it needs to be called just once (static values), or each time empty value is needed.

Default implementation indicates that the "null value" to use for input null does not vary across uses so that getNullValue(DeserializationContext) need not be called more than once per deserializer instance. This information may be used as optimization.

@Override

Overrides tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.getNullValue.

Implements tools.jackson.databind.deser.NullValueProvider.getNullValue.

Doc from tools.jackson.databind.ValueDeserializer.getNullValue.

Method that can be called to determine value to be used for representing null values (values deserialized when JSON token is JsonToken#VALUE_NULL). Usually this is simply Java null, but for some types (especially primitives) it may be necessary to use non-null values.

This method may be called once, or multiple times, depending on what getNullAccessPattern() returns.

Default implementation simply returns null.
