All Implemented Interfaces:

Versioned, Serializable
```
public class JaxbAnnotationIntrospector
extends AnnotationIntrospector
implements Versioned
```
Annotation introspector that leverages JAXB annotations where applicable to JSON mapping. As of Jackson 2.0, most JAXB annotations are supported at least to some degree. Ones that are NOT yet supported are:
- XmlAnyAttribute not yet used (as of 1.5) but may be in future (as an alias for @JsonAnySetter?)
- XmlAnyElement not yet used, may be as per [JACKSON-253]
- XmlAttachmentRef: JSON does not support external attachments
- XmlElementDecl
- XmlElementRefs because Jackson doesn't have any support for 'named' collection items -- however, this may become partially supported as per [JACKSON-253].
- XmlInlineBinaryData since the underlying concepts (like XOP) do not exist in JSON -- Jackson will always use inline base64 encoding as the method
- XmlList because JSON does have (or necessarily need) method of serializing list of values as space-separated Strings
- XmlMimeType
- XmlMixed since JSON has no concept of mixed content
- XmlRegistry
- XmlSchema not used, unlikely to be used
- XmlSchemaType not used, unlikely to be used
- XmlSchemaTypes not used, unlikely to be used
- XmlSeeAlso not yet supported, but [ISSUE-1] filed to use it, so may be supported.
Note also the following limitations:
- Any property annotated with XmlValue will have implicit property named 'value' on its JSON object; although (as of 2.4) it should be possible to override this name
A note on compatibility with Jackson XML module: since this module does not depend on Jackson XML module, it is bit difficult to make sure we will properly expose all information. But effort is made (as of version 2.3.3) to expose this information, even without using a specific sub-class from that project.

public Boolean findIgnoreUnknownProperties(AnnotatedClass ac)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

  - isIgnorableType
```
public Boolean isIgnorableType(AnnotatedClass ac)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking whether properties that have specified type (class, not generics aware) should be completely ignored for serialization and deserialization purposes.
    
    Overrides:

    Parameters:
    
    ac - Type to check
    
    Returns:
    
    Boolean.TRUE if properties of type should be ignored; Boolean.FALSE if they are not to be ignored, null for default handling (which is 'do not ignore')
  - hasIgnoreMarker
```
public boolean hasIgnoreMarker(AnnotatedMember m)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method called to check whether given property is marked to be ignored. This is used to determine whether to ignore properties, on per-property basis, usually combining annotations from multiple accessors (getters, setters, fields, constructor parameters).
    
    Overrides:

  - findWrapperName
```
public PropertyName findWrapperName(Annotated ann)

    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method used to check if specified property has annotation that indicates that it should be wrapped in an element; and if so, name to use. Note that not all serializers and deserializers support use this method: currently (2.1) it is only used by XML-backed handlers.
    
    Overrides:

    Returns:
    
    Wrapper name to use, if any, or PropertyName.USE_DEFAULT to indicate that no wrapper element should be used.
  - findImplicitPropertyName
```
public String findImplicitPropertyName(AnnotatedMember m)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for finding implicit name for a property that given annotated member (field, method, creator parameter) may represent. This is different from explicit, annotation-based property name, in that it is "weak" and does not either proof that a property exists (for example, if visibility is not high enough), or override explicit names. In practice this method is used to introspect optional names for creator parameters (which may or may not be available and can not be detected by standard databind); or to provide alternate name mangling for fields, getters and/or setters.
    
    Overrides:
    
    findImplicitPropertyName in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findFormat
```
public JsonFormat.Value findFormat(Annotated m)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for finding format annotations for property or class. Return value is typically used by serializers and/or deserializers to customize presentation aspects of the serialized value.
    
    Overrides:
    
    findFormat in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findAutoDetectVisibility

```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking if annotations indicate changes to minimum visibility levels needed for auto-detecting property elements (fields, methods, constructors). A baseline checker is given, and introspector is to either return it as is (if no annotations are found), or build and return a derived instance (using checker's build methods).
    
    Overrides:
    
    findAutoDetectVisibility in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findAccessType
```
protected XmlAccessType findAccessType(Annotated ac)
```
    Method for locating JAXB XmlAccessType annotation value for given annotated entity, if it has one, or inherits one from its ancestors (in JAXB sense, package etc). Returns null if nothing has been explicitly defined.

```
  - findSubtypes
```
public List<NamedType> findSubtypes(Annotated a)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for locating annotation-specified subtypes related to annotated entity (class, method, field). Note that this is only guaranteed to be a list of directly declared subtypes, no recursive processing is guarantees (i.e. caller has to do it if/as necessary)
    
    Overrides:
    
    findSubtypes in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - Annotated entity (class, field/method) to check for annotations
  - findTypeName
```
public String findTypeName(AnnotatedClass ac)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking if specified type has explicit name.
    
    Overrides:
    
    findTypeName in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Parameters:
    
    ac - Class to check for type name annotations
  - findSerializer
```
public JsonSerializer<?> findSerializer(Annotated am)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for getting a serializer definition on specified method or field. Type of definition is either instance (of type JsonSerializer) or Class (of type Class); if value of different type is returned, a runtime exception may be thrown by caller.
    
    Overrides:
    
    findSerializer in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findContentSerializer
```
public Object findContentSerializer(Annotated a)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for getting a serializer definition for content (values) of associated Collection, array or Map property. Type of definition is either instance (of type JsonSerializer) or Class (of type Class); if value of different type is returned, a runtime exception may be thrown by caller.
    
    Overrides:
    
    findContentSerializer in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findSerializationType
```
public Class<?> findSerializationType(Annotated a)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for accessing annotated type definition that a method/field can have, to be used as the type for serialization instead of the runtime type. Type returned (if any) needs to be widening conversion (super-type). Declared return type of the method is also considered acceptable.
    
    Overrides:
    
    findSerializationType in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Returns:
    
    Class to use instead of runtime type
  - findSerializationInclusion

```
    Implementation of this method is slightly tricky, given that JAXB defaults differ from Jackson defaults. As of version 1.5 and above, this is resolved by honoring Jackson defaults (which are configurable), and only using JAXB explicit annotations.

```
public Boolean findSerializationSortAlphabetically(Annotated ann)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking whether an annotation indicates that serialized properties for which no explicit is defined should be alphabetically (lexicograpically) ordered
    
    Overrides:
    
    findSerializationSortAlphabetically in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findSerializationConverter
```
public Object findSerializationConverter(Annotated a)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for finding Converter that annotated entity (property or class) has indicated to be used as part of serialization. If not null, either has to be actual Converter instance, or class for such converter; and resulting converter will be used first to convert property value to converter target type, and then serializer for that type is used for actual serialization.
    This feature is typically used to convert internal values into types that Jackson can convert.
    Note also that this feature does not necessarily work well with polymorphic type handling, or object identity handling; if such features are needed an explicit serializer is usually better way to handle serialization.
    
    Overrides:
    
    findSerializationConverter in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - Annotated property (field, method) or class to check for annotations
  - findSerializationContentConverter
```
public Object findSerializationContentConverter(AnnotatedMember a)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for finding Converter that annotated property has indicated needs to be used for values of container type (this also means that method should only be called for properties of container types, List/Map/array properties).
    If not null, either has to be actual Converter instance, or class for such converter; and resulting converter will be used first to convert property value to converter target type, and then serializer for that type is used for actual serialization.
    Other notes are same as those for AnnotationIntrospector.findSerializationConverter(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.Annotated)

public PropertyName findNameForSerialization(Annotated a)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking whether given property accessors (method, field) has an annotation that suggests property name to use for serialization. Should return null if no annotation is found; otherwise a non-null name (possibly PropertyName.USE_DEFAULT, which means "use default heuristics").

public boolean hasAsValueAnnotation(AnnotatedMethod am)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

public Object findDeserializationConverter(Annotated a)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

If not null, either has to be actual Converter instance, or class for such converter; and resulting converter will be used after Jackson has deserializer data into intermediate type (Converter input type), and Converter needs to convert this into its target type to be set as property value.
    This feature is typically used to convert intermediate Jackson types (that default deserializers can produce) into custom type instances.
    Note also that this feature does not necessarily work well with polymorphic type handling, or object identity handling; if such features are needed an explicit deserializer is usually better way to handle deserialization.
