Class Summary
Class	Description
CoreXMLDeserializers	Container deserializers that handle "core" XML types: ones included in standard JDK 1.5.
CoreXMLDeserializers.Std	Combo-deserializer that supports deserialization of somewhat optional javax.xml types `QName`, `Duration` and `XMLGregorianCalendar`.
CoreXMLSerializers	Provider for serializers of XML types that are part of full JDK 1.5, but that some alleged 1.5 platforms are missing (Android, GAE).
CoreXMLSerializers.XMLGregorianCalendarSerializer
DOMDeserializer<T>	Base for serializers that allows parsing DOM Documents from JSON Strings.
DOMDeserializer.DocumentDeserializer
DOMDeserializer.NodeDeserializer
DOMSerializer
Java7Support	To support Java7-incomplete platforms, we will offer support for JDK 7 annotations through this class, loaded dynamically; if loading fails, support will be missing.
Java7SupportImpl
NioPathDeserializer
NioPathSerializer
OptionalHandlerFactory	Helper class used for isolating details of handling optional+external types (javax.xml classes) from standard factories that offer them.

Package com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ext Description

Contains extended support for "external" packages: things that may or may not be present in runtime environment, but that are commonly enough used so that explicit support can be added.

Currently supported extensions include:

Support for Java 1.5 core XML datatypes: the reason these are considered "external" is that some platforms that claim to be 1.5 conformant are only partially so (Google Android, GAE) and do not included these types.
Joda time. This package has superior date/time handling functionality, and is thus supported. However, to minimize forced dependencies this support is added as extension so that Joda is not needed by Jackson itself: but if it is present, its core types are supported to some degree
