public interface NullValueProvider
```
Helper interface implemented by classes that are to be used as null providers during deserialization. Most importantly implemented by JsonDeserializer (as a mix-in interface), but also by converters used to support more configurable null replacement.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`AccessPattern`	`getNullAccessPattern()` Accessor that may be used to determine if and when provider must be called to access null replacement value.
`Object`	`getNullValue(DeserializationContext ctxt)` Method called to possibly convert incoming `null` token (read via underlying streaming input source) into other value of type accessor supports.

```
Object getNullValue(DeserializationContext ctxt)
             throws JsonMappingException
```
    Method called to possibly convert incoming `null` token (read via underlying streaming input source) into other value of type accessor supports. May return `null`, or value compatible with type binding.
    NOTE: if getNullAccessPattern() returns `ALWAYS_NULL` or `CONSTANT`, this method WILL NOT use provided `ctxt` and it may thus be passed as `null`.
    
    Throws:
    
    JsonMappingException
  - getNullAccessPattern
```
AccessPattern getNullAccessPattern()
```
    Accessor that may be used to determine if and when provider must be called to access null replacement value.
