ObjectWriter (jackson-databind 2.6.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned, Serializable
```
public class ObjectWriter
extends Object
implements com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned, Serializable
```
Builder object that can be used for per-serialization configuration of serialization parameters, such as JSON View and root type to use. (and thus fully thread-safe with no external synchronization); new instances are constructed for different configurations. Instances are initially constructed by ObjectMapper and can be reused in completely thread-safe manner with no explicit synchronization

    Method for creating a SequenceWriter to write a sequence of root values using configuration of this ObjectWriter. Sequence is not surrounded by JSON array; some backend types may not support writing of such sequences as root level. Resulting writer needs to be SequenceWriter.close()d after all values have been written to ensure closing of underlying generator and output stream.

    Method for creating a SequenceWriter to write a sequence of root values using configuration of this ObjectWriter. Sequence is not surrounded by JSON array; some backend types may not support writing of such sequences as root level. Resulting writer needs to be SequenceWriter.close()d after all values have been written to ensure that all content gets flushed by the generator. However, since a JsonGenerator is explicitly passed, it will NOT be closed when SequenceWriter.close() is called.
    
    Parameters:
    
    gen - Low-level generator caller has already constructed that will be used for actual writing of token stream.
    
    Throws:

```
    Method for creating a SequenceWriter to write an array of root-level values, using configuration of this ObjectWriter. Resulting writer needs to be SequenceWriter.close()d after all values have been written to ensure closing of underlying generator and output stream.

  - writeValuesAsArray
```
public SequenceWriter writeValuesAsArray(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen)
                                  throws IOException
```
    Method for creating a SequenceWriter to write an array of root-level values, using configuration of this ObjectWriter. Resulting writer needs to be SequenceWriter.close()d after all values have been written to ensure that all content gets flushed by the generator. However, since a JsonGenerator is explicitly passed, it will NOT be closed when SequenceWriter.close() is called.
    Note that the type to use with forType(Class) needs to be type of individual values (elements) to write and NOT matching array or Collection type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    gen - Underlying generator to use for writing the token stream
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException

```
    Method for creating a SequenceWriter to write an array of root-level values, using configuration of this ObjectWriter. Resulting writer needs to be SequenceWriter.close()d after all values have been written to ensure closing of underlying generator and output stream.
    Note that the type to use with forType(Class) needs to be type of individual values (elements) to write and NOT matching array or Collection type.
    
    Parameters:

    Method that can be used to serialize any Java value as JSON output, using output stream provided (using encoding JsonEncoding.UTF8).
    Note: method does not close the underlying stream explicitly here; however, JsonFactory this mapper uses may choose to close the stream depending on its settings (by default, it will try to close it when JsonGenerator we construct is closed).

    Method that can be used to serialize any Java value as a String. Functionally equivalent to calling writeValue(Writer,Object) with StringWriter and constructing String, but more efficient.
