TokenBuffer (Jackson JSON Processor)

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, Versioned
```
public class TokenBuffer
extends JsonGenerator
```
Utility class used for efficient storage of JsonToken sequences, needed for temporary buffering. Space efficient for different sequence lengths (especially so for smaller ones; but not significantly less efficient for larger), highly efficient for linear iteration and appending. Implemented as segmented/chunked linked list of tokens; only modifications are via appends.

`void`	`writeString(SerializableString text)` Method similar to `JsonGenerator.writeString(String)`, but that takes `SerializableString` which can make this potentially more efficient to call as generator may be able to reuse quoted and/or encoded representation.

```
public JsonParser asParser()
```
    Method used to create a JsonParser that can read contents stored in this buffer. Will use default _objectCodec for object conversions.
    Note: instances are not synchronized, that is, they are not thread-safe if there are concurrent appends to the underlying buffer.

    Whether the underlying target (stream, writer) gets closed depends on whether this generator either manages the target (i.e. is the only one with access to the target -- case if caller passes a reference to the resource such as File, but not stream); or has feature JsonGenerator.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_TARGET enabled. If either of above is true, the target is also closed. Otherwise (not managing, feature not enabled), target is not closed.

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that will force generator to copy input text verbatim with no modifications (including that no escaping is done and no separators are added even if context [array, object] would otherwise require such). If such separators are desired, use JsonGenerator.writeRawValue(String) instead.
    Note that not all generator implementations necessarily support such by-pass methods: those that do not will throw UnsupportedOperationException.

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Write method that can be used for custom numeric types that can not be (easily?) converted to "standard" Java number types. Because numbers are not surrounded by double quotes, regular JsonGenerator.writeString(java.lang.String) method can not be used; nor JsonGenerator.writeRaw(java.lang.String) because that does not properly handle value separators needed in Array or Object contexts.
    Note: because of lack of type safety, some generator implementations may not be able to implement this method. For example, if a binary json format is used, it may require type information for encoding; similarly for generator-wrappers around Java objects or Json nodes. If implementation does not implement this method, it needs to throw UnsupportedOperationException.

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for writing given Java object (POJO) as Json. Exactly how the object gets written depends on object in question (ad on codec, its configuration); for most beans it will result in Json object, but for others Json array, or String or numeric value (and for nulls, Json null literal. NOTE: generator must have its object codec set to non-null value; for generators created by a mapping factory this is the case, for others not.

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that will output given chunk of binary data as base64 encoded, as a complete String value (surrounded by double quotes). This method defaults
    Note: because Json Strings can not contain unescaped linefeeds, if linefeeds are included (as per last argument), they must be escaped. This adds overhead for decoding without improving readability. Alternatively if linefeeds are not included, resulting String value may violate the requirement of base64 RFC which mandates line-length of 76 characters and use of linefeeds. However, all JsonParser implementations are required to accept such "long line base64"; as do typical production-level base64 decoders.
    
    Specified by:
    
    writeBinary in class JsonGenerator
    
    Parameters:
    b64variant - Base64 variant to use: defines details such as whether padding is used (and if so, using which character); what is the maximum line length before adding linefeed, and also the underlying alphabet to use.

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for copying contents of the current event that the given parser instance points to. Note that the method will not copy any other events, such as events contained within Json Array or Object structures.
    Calling this method will not advance the given parser, although it may cause parser to internally process more data (if it lazy loads contents of value events, for example)

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    Method for copying contents of the current event and following events that it encloses the given parser instance points to.
    So what constitutes enclosing? Here is the list of events that have associated enclosed events that will get copied:
    - JsonToken.START_OBJECT: all events up to and including matching (closing) JsonToken.END_OBJECT will be copied
    - JsonToken.START_ARRAY all events up to and including matching (closing) JsonToken.END_ARRAY will be copied
    - JsonToken.FIELD_NAME the logical value (which can consist of a single scalar value; or a sequence of related events for structured types (Json Arrays, Objects)) will be copied along with the name itself. So essentially the whole field entry (name and value) will be copied.
    After calling this method, parser will point to the last event that was copied. This will either be the event parser already pointed to (if there were no enclosed events), or the last enclosed event copied.
