public boolean canOmitProperties()

Overrides tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.canOmitProperties.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.canOmitProperties.

Introspection method to call to check whether it is ok to omit writing of Object properties or not. Most formats do allow omission, but certain positional formats (such as CSV) require output of place holders, even if no real values are to be emitted.

Note

in Jackson 2.x method was canOmitFields().

public boolean canWriteObjectId()

Overrides tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.canWriteObjectId.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.canWriteObjectId.

Introspection method that may be called to see if the underlying data format supports some kind of Object Ids natively (many do not; for example, JSON doesn't). This method must be called prior to calling writeObjectId or writeObjectRef.

Default implementation returns false; overridden by data formats that do support native Object Ids. Caller is expected to either use a non-native notation (explicit property or such), or fail, in case it cannot use native object ids.

Introspection method that may be called to see if the underlying data format supports some kind of Type Ids natively (many do not; for example, JSON doesn't). This method must be called prior to calling writeTypeId.

Default implementation returns false; overridden by data formats that do support native Type Ids. Caller is expected to either use a non-native notation (explicit property or such), or fail, in case it cannot use native type ids.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.currentValue.

Helper method, usually equivalent to: getOutputContext().currentValue();

Note that "current value" is NOT populated (or used) by Streaming 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.

public PrettyPrinter getPrettyPrinter()

Overrides tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.getPrettyPrinter.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.getPrettyPrinter.

Accessor for object that handles pretty-printing (usually additional white space to make results more human-readable) during output. If null, no pretty-printing is done.

Note

this may be PrettyPrinter that TokenStreamFactory was configured with (if stateless), OR an instance created via tools.jackson.core.util.Instantiatable#createInstance() (if stateful).

Default implementation returns null so pretty-printing capable generators need to override it.

public JsonGenerator writeBinary(Base64Variant b64variant, byte[] data, int offset, int len) throws JacksonException

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.writeBinary.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.writeBinary.

Method that will output given chunk of binary data as base64 encoded, as a complete String value (surrounded by double quotes). This method defaults

Note

because JSON Strings cannot contain unescaped linefeeds, if linefeeds are included (as per last argument), they must be escaped. This adds overhead for decoding without improving readability. Alternatively if linefeeds are not included, resulting String value may violate the requirement of base64 RFC which mandates line-length of 76 characters and use of linefeeds. However, all JsonParser implementations are required to accept such "long line base64"; as do typical production-level base64 decoders.

public JsonGenerator writeNumber(String encodedValue) throws JacksonException

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.writeNumber.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.writeNumber.

Write method that can be used for custom numeric types that can not be (easily?) converted to "standard" Java number types. Because numbers are not surrounded by double quotes, regular writeString method cannot be used; nor writeRaw because that does not properly handle value separators needed in Array or Object contexts.

Note

because of lack of type safety, some generator implementations may not be able to implement this method. For example, if a binary JSON format is used, it may require type information for encoding; similarly for generator-wrappers around Java objects or JSON nodes. If implementation does not implement this method, it needs to throw UnsupportedOperationException.

Note that not all generator implementations necessarily support such by-pass methods: those that do not will throw UnsupportedOperationException.

Method similar to writeString(String) but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String that is to be output as-is, without additional escaping (type of which depends on data format; backslashes for JSON). However, quoting that data format requires (like double-quotes for JSON) will be added around the value if and as necessary.

Note that some backends may choose not to support this method: for example, if underlying destination is a java.io.Writer using this method would require UTF-8 decoding.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.writeString.

Method for outputting a String value. Depending on context this means either array element, (object) property value or a stand-alone (root-level value) String; but in all cases, String will be surrounded in double quotes, and contents will be properly escaped as required by JSON specification.

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.writeUTF8String.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.writeUTF8String.

Method similar to writeString(String) but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String which has not been escaped using whatever escaping scheme data format requires (for JSON that is backslash-escaping for control characters and double-quotes; for other formats something else). This means that textual JSON backends need to check if value needs JSON escaping, but otherwise can just be copied as is to output. Also, quoting that data format requires (like double-quotes for JSON) will be added around the value if and as necessary.

Note that some backends may choose not to support this method: for example, if underlying destination is a java.io.Writer using this method would require UTF-8 decoding. In this case generator implementation may instead choose to throw a UnsupportedOperationException due to ineffectiveness of having to decode input.
