ObjectWriter (jackson-databind 2.7.0 API)

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

Versioned, Serializable
```
public class ObjectWriter
extends Object
implements 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

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Class and Description
`static class`	`ObjectWriter.GeneratorSettings` Helper class used for containing settings specifically related to (re)configuring `JsonGenerator` constructed for writing output.
`static class`	`ObjectWriter.Prefetch` As a minor optimization, we will make an effort to pre-fetch a serializer, or at least relevant `TypeSerializer`, if given enough information.

    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:
    out - Writer to use for writing the token stream
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
    Since:
    
    2.5

    Diagnostics method that can be called to check whether this writer has pre-fetched serializer to use: pre-fetching improves performance when writer instances are reused as it avoids a per-call serializer lookup.

                       JsonMappingException
```
    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).

public String writeValueAsString(Object value)

```
    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.
    Note: prior to version 2.1, throws clause included IOException; 2.1 removed it.

    Method that can be used to serialize any Java value as a byte array. Functionally equivalent to calling writeValue(Writer,Object) with ByteArrayOutputStream and getting bytes, but more efficient. Encoding used will be UTF-8.
    Note: prior to version 2.1, throws clause included IOException; 2.1 removed it.
