111<div class="block">Abstract class that defines API used for introspecting annotation-based
112 configuration for serialization and deserialization. Separated
113 so that different sets of annotations can be supported, and support
114 plugged-in dynamically.
115<p>
116 Although default implementations are based on using annotations as the only
117 (or at least main) information source, custom implementations are not limited
118 in such a way, and in fact there is no expectation they should be. So the name
119 is bit of misnomer; this is a general configuration introspection facility.
120<p>
121 NOTE: due to rapid addition of new methods (and changes to existing methods),
122 it is <b>strongly</b> recommended that custom implementations should not directly
123 extend this class, but rather extend <a href="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/introspect/NopAnnotationIntrospector.html" title="class in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect"><code>NopAnnotationIntrospector</code></a>.
124 This way added methods will not break backwards compatibility of custom annotation
125 introspectors.</div>
