106<div class="block">Abstract class that defines API used by <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ObjectMapper.html" title="class in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind"><code>ObjectMapper</code></a> (and
107 other chained <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JsonDeserializer.html" title="class in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind"><code>JsonDeserializer</code></a>s too) to deserialize Objects of
108 arbitrary types from JSON, using provided <a href="http://fasterxml.github.com/jackson-core/javadoc/2.3.0/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/JsonParser.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in com.fasterxml.jackson.core"><code>JsonParser</code></a>.
109<p>
110 Custom deserializers should usually not directly extend this class,
111 but instead extend <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/std/StdDeserializer.html" title="class in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std"><code>StdDeserializer</code></a>
112 (or its subtypes like <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/std/StdScalarDeserializer.html" title="class in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std"><code>StdScalarDeserializer</code></a>).
113<p>
114 If deserializer is an aggregate one -- meaning it delegates handling of some
115 of its contents by using other deserializer(s) -- it typically also needs
116 to implement <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/ResolvableDeserializer.html" title="interface in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser"><code>ResolvableDeserializer</code></a>,
117 which can locate dependant deserializers. This is important to allow dynamic
118 overrides of deserializers; separate call interface is needed to separate
119 resolution of dependant deserializers (which may have cyclic link back
120 to deserializer itself, directly or indirectly).
121<p>
122 In addition, to support per-property annotations (to configure aspects
123 of deserialization on per-property basis), deserializers may want
124 to implement
125 <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/ContextualDeserializer.html" title="interface in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser"><code>ContextualDeserializer</code></a>,
126 which allows specialization of deserializers: call to
127 <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/ContextualDeserializer.html#createContextual(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.BeanProperty)"><code>ContextualDeserializer.createContextual(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.BeanProperty)</code></a>
128 is passed information on property, and can create a newly configured
129 deserializer for handling that particular property.
130<p>
131 If both
132 <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/ResolvableDeserializer.html" title="interface in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser"><code>ResolvableDeserializer</code></a> and
133 <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/ContextualDeserializer.html" title="interface in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser"><code>ContextualDeserializer</code></a>
134 are implemented, resolution of deserializers occurs before
135 contextualization.</div>

350<div class="block">Method that can be called to ask implementation to deserialize
351 JSON content into the value type this serializer handles.
352 Returned instance is to be constructed by method itself.
353<p>
354 Pre-condition for this method is that the parser points to the
355 first event that is part of value to deserializer (and which
356 is never JSON 'null' literal, more on this below): for simple
357 types it may be the only value; and for structured types the
358 Object start marker.
359 Post-condition is that the parser will point to the last
360 event that is part of deserialized value (or in case deserialization
361 fails, event that was not recognized or usable, which may be
362 the same event as the one it pointed to upon call).
