Uses of Package
com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation

Packages that use com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation

Package	Description
com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation	Public core annotations, most of which are used to configure how Data Mapping/Binding works.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind	Basic data binding (mapping) functionality that allows for reading JSON content into Java Objects (POJOs) and JSON Trees (JsonNode), as well as writing Java Objects and trees as JSON.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation	Annotations that directly depend on classes in databinding bundle (not just Jackson core) and can not be included in Jackson core annotations package (because it can not have any external dependencies).
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.cfg	Package that contains most of configuration-related classes; exception being couple of most-commonly used configuration things (like Feature enumerations) that are at the main level (com.fasterxml.jackson.databind).
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser	Contains implementation classes of deserialization part of data binding.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.impl	Contains those implementation classes of deserialization part of data binding that are not considered part of public or semi-public interfaces.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std	Contains public standard implementations of abstraction that Jackson uses.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect	Functionality needed for Bean introspection, required for detecting accessors and mutators for Beans, as well as locating and handling method annotations.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsonFormatVisitors	Classes used for exposing logical structure of POJOs as Jackson sees it, and exposed via ObjectMapper.acceptJsonFormatVisitor(Class, JsonFormatVisitorWrapper) and ObjectMapper.acceptJsonFormatVisitor(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType, JsonFormatVisitorWrapper) methods.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsonschema	Classes needed for JSON schema support (currently just ability to generate schemas using serialization part of data mapping)
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype	Package that contains interfaces that define how to implement functionality for dynamically resolving type during deserialization.

Classes in com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation used by com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation

Class and Description
JacksonAnnotation Meta-annotation (annotations used on other annotations) used for marking all annotations that are part of Jackson package.
JacksonAnnotationValue Marker interface used by value classes like JsonFormat.Value that are used to contain information from one of Jackson annotations, and can be directly instantiated from those annotations, as well as programmatically constructed and possibly merged.
JsonAutoDetect.Visibility Enumeration for possible visibility thresholds (minimum visibility) that can be used to limit which methods (and fields) are auto-detected.
JsonCreator.Mode
JsonFormat General-purpose annotation used for configuring details of how values of properties are to be serialized.
JsonFormat.Feature Set of features that can be enabled/disabled for property annotated.
JsonFormat.Features Helper class that encapsulates information equivalent to Boolean valued EnumMap.

JsonInclude.Include Enumeration used with JsonInclude to define which properties of Java Beans are to be included in serialization.
JsonInclude.Value Helper class used to contain information from a single JsonInclude annotation.
JsonProperty.Access Various options for JsonProperty.access() property, specifying how property may be accessed during serialization ("read") and deserialization ("write") (note that the direction of read and write is from perspective of the property, not from external data format: this may be confusing in some contexts).
JsonTypeInfo.As Definition of standard type inclusion mechanisms for type metadata.
JsonTypeInfo.Id Definition of different type identifiers that can be included in JSON during serialization, and used for deserialization.
ObjectIdGenerator Definition of API used for constructing Object Identifiers (as annotated using JsonIdentityInfo).

ObjectIdResolver Definition of API used for resolving actual Java object from Object Identifiers (as annotated using JsonIdentityInfo).
OptBoolean Optional Boolean value ("nullean").
PropertyAccessor Enumeration used to define kinds of elements (called "property accessors") that annotations like JsonAutoDetect apply to.
