ObjectWriter (jackson-databind 2.1.5)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Versioned, Serializable
```
public class ObjectWriter
extends Object
implements Versioned, Serializable
```
Builder object that can be used for per-serialization configuration of serialization parameters, such as JSON View and root type to use. (and thus fully thread-safe with no external synchronization); new instances are constructed for different configurations. Instances are initially constructed by ObjectMapper and can be reused in completely thread-safe manner with no explicit synchronization

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`protected SerializationConfig`	`_config` General serialization configuration settings
`protected JsonFactory`	`_jsonFactory` Factory used for constructing `JsonGenerator`s
`protected PrettyPrinter`	`_prettyPrinter` To allow for dynamic enabling/disabling of pretty printing, pretty printer can be optionally configured for writer as well
`protected JsonSerializer<Object>`	`_rootSerializer` We may pre-fetch serializer if `_rootType` is known, and if so, reuse it afterwards.
`protected JavaType`	`_rootType` Specified root serialization type to use; can be same as runtime type, but usually one of its super types
`protected FormatSchema`	`_schema` When using data format that uses a schema, schema is passed to generator.
`protected SerializerFactory`	`_serializerFactory`

`protected static PrettyPrinter`	`NULL_PRETTY_PRINTER` We need to keep track of explicit disabling of pretty printing; easiest to do by a token value.
