Class JsonNodeFactory

java.lang.Object
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.JsonNodeFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
JsonNodeCreator, Serializable
public class JsonNodeFactory extends Object implements Serializable, JsonNodeCreator
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.

One configuration option in the default implementation is that of whether DecimalNode instances must be built with exact representations of BigDecimal instances; or to use "normalized" instance. 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 unless normalized since their scale differs (1 in the first case, 2 in the second case). Normalization, if enabled, means simply calling BigDecimal.stripTrailingZeros().

Note that configuration of "normalization" changed in 2.15: while JsonNodeFactory still has a default setting, the intent is to deprecate and remove this, to be replaced by new JsonNodeFeature.STRIP_TRAILING_BIGDECIMAL_ZEROES setting. Default setting in 2.15 is to ENABLE normalization: this will likely change at latest in Jackson 3.0 (to leave BigDecimal values as they are). Note, too, that this factory will no longer handle this normalization (if enabled): caller (like JsonNodeDeserializer) is expected to handle it.
