Overview
Jackson is a Java library for processing JSON data format. It has support for marshaling and unmarshalling Java to and from JSON. It has a JAX-RS content handler that can automatically convert between Java objects and JSON, and vice-versa. It can generate JSON schemas from a Java object model.
JSON Processing Methods
Jackson offers three alternative methods for processing JSON:
Streaming API
The Streaming API reads and writes JSON as a series of discrete events, in a mode called "incremental parsing/generation". The other two methods (Tree Model and Data Binding) are built in top of it. However, this is not the most convenient method, because is relatively low level. For more details, see:
Tree Model
A JSON document is converted into a mutable in-memory tree representation of the JSON document. Tree model is arguably the most flexible of all three methods. For more details, see:
Data Binding
Data Binding is arguably the most convenient of all three methods. Jackson extracts data from JSON and initializes a in-memory Java object hierarchy, made of non-Jackson types (as it was the case with the tree model)

Maven Support
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>

If the tree model is used, this is also required:
