JsonNodeFactory (jackson-databind 2.2.0-rc1)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.JsonNodeFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class JsonNodeFactory
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
Base class that specifies methods for getting access to Node instances (newly constructed, or shared, depending on type), as well as basic implementation of the methods. Designed to be sub-classed if extended functionality (additions to behavior of node types, mostly) is needed.

```
public static final JsonNodeFactory instance
```
    Default singleton instance that construct "standard" node instances: given that this class is stateless, a globally shared singleton can be used.
- Constructor Detail
  - JsonNodeFactory
```
public JsonNodeFactory(boolean bigDecimalExact)
```
    Main constructor
    The only argument to this constructor is a boolean telling whether DecimalNode instances must be built with exact representations of BigDecimal instances.
    
    This has quite an influence since, for instance, a BigDecimal (and, therefore, a DecimalNode) constructed from input string "1.0" and another constructed with input string "1.00" will not be equal, since their scale differs (1 in the first case, 2 in the second case).
    
    Note that setting the argument to true does not guarantee a strict inequality between JSON representations: input texts "0.1" and "1e-1", for instance, yield two equivalent BigDecimal instances since they have the same scale (1).
    
    The no-arg constructor (and the default instance) calls this constructor with false as an argument.
    
    Parameters:
    bigDecimalExact - see description

    BigDecimal
  - JsonNodeFactory
```
protected JsonNodeFactory()
```
    Default constructor
    This calls JsonNodeFactory(boolean) with false as an argument.

  - withExactBigDecimals
```
public static JsonNodeFactory withExactBigDecimals(boolean bigDecimalExact)
```
    Return a factory instance with the desired behavior for BigDecimals
    See JsonNodeFactory(boolean) for a full description.
    
    Parameters:
    bigDecimalExact - see description
    
    Returns:
    a factory instance

public ValueNode numberNode(Float value)
```
    Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

```
public NumericNode numberNode(double v)
```
    Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given 64-bit floating point value
  - numberNode
```
public ValueNode numberNode(Double value)
```
    Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

```
public NumericNode numberNode(BigDecimal v)
```
    Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given unlimited precision floating point value
    In the event that the factory has been built to normalize decimal values, the BigDecimal argument will be stripped off its trailing zeroes, using BigDecimal.stripTrailingZeros().
