Class DeserializationContext

java.lang.Object
  com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultDeserializationContext

public abstract class DeserializationContext
extends Object
implements Serializable

Context for the process of deserialization a single root-level value. Used to allow passing in configuration settings and reusable temporary objects (scrap arrays, containers).

Instance life-cycle is such that an partially configured "blueprint" object is registered with ObjectMapper (and ObjectReader, and when an actual instance is needed for deserialization, a fully configured instance will be created using a method in excented API of sub-class (DefaultDeserializationContext.createInstance(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationConfig, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.InjectableValues)). Each instance is guaranteed to only be used from single-threaded context; instances may be reused iff no configuration has changed.

Defined as abstract class so that implementations must define methods for reconfiguring blueprints and creating instances.
