JsonStreamContext (jackson-core 2.13.0-rc1)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonStreamContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

JsonReadContext, JsonWriteContext, TokenFilterContext
```
public abstract class JsonStreamContext
extends Object
```
Shared base class for streaming processing contexts used during reading and writing of Json content using Streaming API. This context is also exposed to applications: context object can be used by applications to get an idea of relative position of the parser/generator within json content being processed. This allows for some contextual processing: for example, output within Array context can differ from that of Object context.

`int`	`getEntryCount()`
`abstract JsonStreamContext`	`getParent()` Accessor for finding parent context of this context; will return null for root context.

`boolean`	`hasCurrentName()`
`boolean`	`hasPathSegment()` Method that may be called to check if this context is either: Object, with at least one entry written (partially or completely) Array, with at least one entry written (partially or completely) and if so, return `true`; otherwise return `false`.
`boolean`	`inArray()` Method that returns true if this context is an Array context; that is, content is being read from or written to a JSON Array.
`boolean`	`inObject()` Method that returns true if this context is an Object context; that is, content is being read from or written to a JSON Object.

`String`	`toString()` Overridden to provide developer readable "JsonPath" representation of the context.

    and if so, return `true`; otherwise return `false`. Latter case includes Root context (always), and Object/Array contexts before any entries/elements have been read or written.

```
public Object getCurrentValue()
```
    Method for accessing currently active value being used by data-binding (as the source of streaming data to write, or destination of data being read), at this level in hierarchy.
    Note that "current value" is NOT populated (or used) by Streaming parser or generator; it is only used by higher-level data-binding functionality. The reason it is included here is that it can be stored and accessed hierarchically, and gets passed through data-binding.
    
    Returns:
    
    Currently active value, if one has been assigned.
    
    Since:
    
    2.5

    Parameters:
    
    v - Current value to assign to this context

    2.5
  - pathAsPointer
```
public JsonPointer pathAsPointer()
```
    Factory method for constructing a JsonPointer that points to the current location within the stream that this context is for, excluding information about "root context" (only relevant for multi-root-value cases)
    
    Returns:

    Returns:
    
    Pointer instance constructed
    
    Since:
    
    2.9
  - startLocation
```
public JsonLocation startLocation(ContentReference srcRef)
```
    Optional method that may be used to access starting location of this context: for example, in case of JSON `Object` context, offset at which `[` token was read or written. Often used for error reporting purposes. Implementations that do not keep track of such location are expected to return JsonLocation.NA; this is what the default implementation does.
    
    Parameters:
    
    srcRef - Source reference needed to construct location instance
    
    Returns:
    
    Location pointing to the point where the context start marker was found (or written); never `null`.

public JsonLocation getStartLocation(Object srcRef)
```
    Deprecated. Since 2.13 use startLocation(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.ContentReference) instead
    
    Since:
    
    2.9
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overridden to provide developer readable "JsonPath" representation of the context.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    Simple developer-readable description this context layer (note: NOT constructed with parents, unlike pathAsPointer())
    
    Since:
