| Package | Description | 
|---|---|
| org.codehaus.jackson.map | Contains basic mapper (conversion) functionality that
allows for converting between regular streaming json content and
Java objects (beans or Tree Model: support for both is via
 ObjectMapperclass, as well
as convenience methods included inJsonParser | 
| org.codehaus.jackson.map.introspect | Functionality needed for Bean introspection, required for detecting
 accessors and mutators for Beans, as well as locating and handling
 method annotations. | 
| Modifier and Type | Class and Description | 
|---|---|
| class  | DeserializationConfigObject that contains baseline configuration for deserialization
 process. | 
| class  | MapperConfig<T extends MapperConfig<T>>Interface that defines functionality accessible through both
 serialization and deserialization configuration objects;
 accessors to mode-independent configuration settings
 and such. | 
| class  | SerializationConfigObject that contains baseline configuration for serialization
 process. |

           JavaType type,
           ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r)Factory method that constructs an introspector that has
 information necessary for creating instances of given
 class ("creator"), as well as class annotations, but
 no information on member methods |

| Modifier and Type | Field and Description | 
|---|---|
| protected ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver | AnnotatedClass. _mixInResolverObject that knows mapping of mix-in classes (ones that contain
 annotations to add) with their target classes (ones that
 get these additional annotations "mixed in"). |
