DeserializationContext (jackson-databind 2.14.2)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DatabindContext
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultDeserializationContext
```
public abstract class DeserializationContext
extends DatabindContext
implements Serializable
```
Context for the process of deserialization a single root-level value. Used to allow passing in configuration settings and reusable temporary objects (scrap arrays, containers).
Instance life-cycle is such that a partially configured "blueprint" object is registered with ObjectMapper (and ObjectReader, and when actual instance is needed for deserialization, a fully configured instance will be created using a method in extended internal API of sub-class (DefaultDeserializationContext.createInstance(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationConfig, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.InjectableValues)). Each instance is guaranteed to only be used from single-threaded context; instances may be reused if (and only if) no configuration has changed.
Defined as abstract class so that implementations must define methods for reconfiguring blueprints and creating instances.

                               throws IOException
```
    Method to call in case incoming shape is Object Value (and parser thereby points to JsonToken.START_OBJECT token), but a Scalar value (potentially coercible from String value) is expected. This would typically be used to deserializer a Number, Boolean value or some other "simple" unstructured value type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    p - Actual parser to read content from
    
    deser - Deserializer that needs extracted String value
    
    scalarType - Immediate type of scalar to extract; usually type deserializer handles but not always (for example, deserializer for int[] would pass scalar type of int)
    
    Returns:
    
    String value found; not null (exception should be thrown if no suitable value found)
    
    Throws:

```
    Convenience method that may be used by composite or container deserializers, for reading one-off values contained (for sequences, it is more efficient to actually fetch deserializer once for the whole collection).
    NOTE: when deserializing values of properties contained in composite types, rather use readPropertyValue(JsonParser, BeanProperty, Class); this method does not allow use of contextual annotations.

```
    Convenience method that may be used by composite or container deserializers, for reading one-off values for the composite type, taking into account annotations that the property (passed to this method -- usually property that has custom serializer that called this method) has.

                      throws IOException
```
    Helper method similar to ObjectReader.treeToValue(TreeNode, Class) which will read contents of given tree (JsonNode) and bind them into specified target type. This is often used in two-phase deserialization in which content is first read as a tree, then manipulated (adding and/or removing properties of Object values, for example), and finally converted into actual target type using default deserialization logic for the type.
    NOTE: deserializer implementations should be careful not to try to recursively deserialize into target type deserializer has registered itself to handle.
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - Tree value to convert, if not null: if null, will simply return null
    
    targetType - Type to deserialize contents of n into (if n not null)

                      throws IOException
```
    Method that deserializers should call if they encounter a String value that cannot be converted to expected key of a Map valued property.

```
    Method that deserializers should call if they fail to instantiate value due to lack of viable instantiator (usually creator, that is, constructor or static factory method). Method should be called at point where value has not been decoded, so that handler has a chance to handle decoding using alternate mechanism, and handle underlying content (possibly by just skipping it) to keep input state valid
    
    Parameters:
    
    instClass - Type that was to be instantiated
    
    valueInst - (optional) Value instantiator to be used, if any; null if type does not use one for instantiation (custom deserialiers don't; standard POJO deserializer does)
    
    p - Parser that points to the JSON value to decode
    
    Returns:
    
    Object that should be constructed, if any; has to be of type instClass
    
    Throws:

```
    Method that deserializers should call if they fail to instantiate value due to an exception that was thrown by constructor (or other mechanism used to create instances). Default implementation will try to call DeserializationProblemHandler.handleInstantiationProblem(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext, java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Throwable) on configured handlers, if any, to allow for recovery; if recovery does not succeed, will throw exception constructed with instantiationException(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.Throwable).

    argument - (optional) Argument that was passed to constructor or equivalent instantiator; often a String.

```
    Method that deserializers should call if they encounter a type id (for polymorphic deserialization) that cannot be resolved to an actual type; usually since there is no mapping defined.

    Method that deserializer may call if it is called to do an update ("merge") but deserializer operates on a non-mergeable type. Although this should usually be caught earlier, sometimes it may only be caught during operation and if so this is the method to call. Note that if MapperFeature.IGNORE_MERGE_FOR_UNMERGEABLE is enabled, this method will simply return null; otherwise InvalidDefinitionException will be thrown.
