All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`abstract TreeNode`	`createArrayNode()` Method for construct root level Array nodes for Tree Model instances.
`abstract TreeNode`	`createObjectNode()` Method for construct root level Object nodes for Tree Model instances.
`JsonFactory`	`getFactory()` Accessor for finding underlying data format factory (`JsonFactory`) codec will use for data binding.
`JsonFactory`	`getJsonFactory()` Deprecated. Since 2.1: Use `getFactory()` instead.
`abstract <T extends TreeNode> T`	`readTree(JsonParser p)` Method to deserialize JSON content as tree expressed using set of `TreeNode` instances.
`abstract <T> T`	`readValue(JsonParser p, Class<T> valueType)` Method to deserialize JSON content into a non-container type (it can be an array type, however): typically a bean, array or a wrapper type (like `Boolean`).
`abstract <T> T`	`readValue(JsonParser p, ResolvedType valueType)` Method to deserialize JSON content into a POJO, type specified with fully resolved type object (so it can be a generic type, including containers like `Collection` and `Map`).
`abstract <T> T`	`readValue(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)` Method to deserialize JSON content into a Java type, reference to which is passed as argument.
`abstract <T> Iterator<T>`	`readValues(JsonParser p, Class<T> valueType)` Method for reading sequence of Objects from parser stream, all with same specified value type.
`abstract <T> Iterator<T>`	`readValues(JsonParser p, ResolvedType valueType)` Method for reading sequence of Objects from parser stream, all with same specified value type.
`abstract <T> Iterator<T>`	`readValues(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)` Method for reading sequence of Objects from parser stream, all with same specified value type.
`abstract JsonParser`	`treeAsTokens(TreeNode n)` Method for constructing a `JsonParser` for reading contents of a JSON tree, as if it was external serialized JSON content.
`abstract <T> T`	`treeToValue(TreeNode n, Class<T> valueType)` Convenience method for converting given JSON tree into instance of specified value type.
`abstract Version`	`version()` Method called to detect version of the component that implements this interface; returned version should never be null, but may return specific "not available" instance (see `Version` for details).
`abstract void`	`writeTree(JsonGenerator gen, TreeNode tree)`
`abstract void`	`writeValue(JsonGenerator gen, Object value)` Method to serialize given Java Object, using generator provided.

public abstract Version version()
```
    Description copied from interface: Versioned
    
    Method called to detect version of the component that implements this interface; returned version should never be null, but may return specific "not available" instance (see Version for details).

  - readValue
```
public abstract <T> T readValue(JsonParser p,

                         throws IOException
```
    Method to deserialize JSON content into a non-container type (it can be an array type, however): typically a bean, array or a wrapper type (like Boolean).
    Note: this method should NOT be used if the result type is a container (Collection or Map. The reason is that due to type erasure, key and value types can not be introspected when using this method.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - readValue
```
public abstract <T> T readValue(JsonParser p,
                                TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)
                         throws IOException
```
    Method to deserialize JSON content into a Java type, reference to which is passed as argument. Type is passed using so-called "super type token" and specifically needs to be used if the root type is a parameterized (generic) container type.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - readValue
```
public abstract <T> T readValue(JsonParser p,
                                ResolvedType valueType)
                         throws IOException
```
    Method to deserialize JSON content into a POJO, type specified with fully resolved type object (so it can be a generic type, including containers like Collection and Map).
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - readValues

```
    Method to deserialize JSON content as tree expressed using set of TreeNode instances. Returns root of the resulting tree (where root can consist of just a single node if the current event is a value event, not container). Empty or whitespace documents return null.
    
    Specified by:
    
    readTree in class TreeCodec
    
    Returns:
    
    next tree from p, or null if empty.

```
    Convenience method for converting given JSON tree into instance of specified value type. This is equivalent to first constructing a JsonParser to iterate over contents of the tree, and using that parser for data binding.
