Jackson Simple Data Binding

Internal

• Jackson

Overview

Simple data binding extracts data from JSON and initializes a in-memory Java object hierarchy. Unlike the tree model, which uses JsonNodes, simple data binding uses Maps, Lists, Strings, Numbers, Booleans and nulls to represent the JSON structure. A Map/List/String/Number/Boolean hierarchy can be written out as JSON content.
