JsonSerializer<?>	Serializers.findSerializer(SerializationConfig config, JavaType type, BeanDescription beanDesc) Method called by serialization framework first time a serializer is needed for specified type, which is not of a container or reference type (for which other methods are called).
JsonSerializer<?>	Serializers.Base.findSerializer(SerializationConfig config, JavaType type, BeanDescription beanDesc)
protected JsonSerializer<?>	BasicSerializerFactory.findSerializerByAddonType(SerializationConfig config, JavaType javaType, BeanDescription beanDesc, boolean staticTyping) Reflection-based serialized find method, which checks if given class implements one of recognized "add-on" interfaces.
protected JsonSerializer<?>	BasicSerializerFactory.findSerializerByAnnotations(SerializerProvider prov, JavaType type, BeanDescription beanDesc) Method called to see if one of primary per-class annotations (or related, like implementing of JsonSerializable) determines the serializer to use.
protected JsonSerializer<?>	BasicSerializerFactory.findSerializerByLookup(JavaType type, SerializationConfig config, BeanDescription beanDesc, boolean staticTyping) Method that will use fast lookup (and identity comparison) methods to see if we know serializer to use for given type.
protected JsonSerializer<?>	BasicSerializerFactory.findSerializerByPrimaryType(SerializerProvider prov, JavaType type, BeanDescription beanDesc, boolean staticTyping) Method for checking if we can determine serializer to use based on set of known primary types, checking for set of known base types (exact matches having been compared against with findSerializerByLookup).
protected Object	BasicSerializerFactory.findSuppressableContentValue(SerializationConfig config, JavaType contentType, BeanDescription beanDesc) NOTE: although return type is left opaque, it really needs to be JsonInclude.Include for things to work as expected.
JsonSerializer<?>	BeanSerializerModifier.modifyArraySerializer(SerializationConfig config, ArrayType valueType, BeanDescription beanDesc, JsonSerializer<?> serializer) Method called by DeserializerFactory after it has constructed the standard serializer for given ArrayType to make it possible to either replace or augment this serializer with additional functionality.

JsonSerializer<?>	BeanSerializerModifier.modifyKeySerializer(SerializationConfig config, JavaType valueType, BeanDescription beanDesc, JsonSerializer<?> serializer) Method called by DeserializerFactory after it has constructed the default key serializer to use for serializing Map keys of given type.
JsonSerializer<?>	BeanSerializerModifier.modifyMapLikeSerializer(SerializationConfig config, MapLikeType valueType, BeanDescription beanDesc, JsonSerializer<?> serializer)
JsonSerializer<?>	BeanSerializerModifier.modifyMapSerializer(SerializationConfig config, MapType valueType, BeanDescription beanDesc, JsonSerializer<?> serializer)

List<BeanPropertyWriter>	BeanSerializerModifier.orderProperties(SerializationConfig config, BeanDescription beanDesc, List<BeanPropertyWriter> beanProperties) Method called by BeanSerializerFactory with set of properties to serialize, in default ordering (based on defaults as well as possible type annotations).
protected void	BeanSerializerFactory.removeIgnorableTypes(SerializationConfig config, BeanDescription beanDesc, List<BeanPropertyDefinition> properties) Method that will apply by-type limitations (as per [JACKSON-429]); by default this is based on JsonIgnoreType annotation but can be supplied by module-provided introspectors too.
protected List<BeanPropertyWriter>	BeanSerializerFactory.removeOverlappingTypeIds(SerializerProvider prov, BeanDescription beanDesc, BeanSerializerBuilder builder, List<BeanPropertyWriter> props) Helper method called to ensure that we do not have "duplicate" type ids.
