`void`	`writeRaw(String text, int offset, int len)` 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).
`void`	`writeRawUTF8String(byte[] text, int offset, int length)` Method similar to `JsonGenerator.writeString(String)` but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String that is to be output as-is, without additional escaping (type of which depends on data format; backslashes for JSON).
`void`	`writeRawValue(char[] text, int offset, int len)`
`void`	`writeRawValue(String text)` Method that will force generator to copy input text verbatim without any modifications, but assuming it must constitute a single legal JSON value (number, string, boolean, null, Array or List).
`void`	`writeRawValue(String text, int offset, int len)`
`void`	`writeStartArray()` Method for writing starting marker of a JSON Array value (character '['; plus possible white space decoration if pretty-printing is enabled).

`void`	`writeString(char[] text, int offset, int len)` Method for outputting a String value.
`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.
`void`	`writeString(String text)` Method for outputting a String value.
`void`	`writeTree(TreeNode rootNode)` Method for writing given JSON tree (expressed as a tree where given JsonNode is the root) using this generator.
`void`	`writeUTF8String(byte[] text, int offset, int length)` Method similar to `JsonGenerator.writeString(String)` but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String which has not been escaped using whatever escaping scheme data format requires (for JSON that is backslash-escaping for control characters and double-quotes; for other formats something else).

public JsonGenerator setCodec(ObjectCodec oc)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that can be called to set or reset the object to use for writing Java objects as JsonContent (using method JsonGenerator.writeObject(java.lang.Object)).
    
    Specified by:
    
    setCodec in class JsonGenerator
    
    Returns:
    Generator itself (this), to allow chaining
  - setSchema
```
public void setSchema(FormatSchema schema)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method to call to make this generator use specified schema. Method must be called before generating any content, right after instance has been created. Note that not all generators support schemas; and those that do usually only accept specific types of schemas: ones defined for data format this generator produces.
    If generator does not support specified schema, UnsupportedOperationException is thrown.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setSchema in class JsonGenerator
    
    Parameters:
    schema - Schema to use
  - getSchema
```
public FormatSchema getSchema()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for accessing Schema that this parser uses, if any. Default implementation returns null.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getSchema in class JsonGenerator
  - canUseSchema
```
public boolean canUseSchema(FormatSchema schema)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that can be used to verify that given schema can be used with this generator (using JsonGenerator.setSchema(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.FormatSchema)).
    
    Overrides:
    
    canUseSchema in class JsonGenerator
    
    Parameters:
    schema - Schema to check
    
    Returns:
    True if this generator can use given schema; false if not
  - version

public Version version()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Accessor for finding out version of the bundle that provided this generator instance.

    version in interface Versioned
    
    Specified by:
    
    version in class JsonGenerator
  - getOutputTarget
```
public Object getOutputTarget()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that can be used to get access to object that is used as target for generated output; this is usually either OutputStream or Writer, depending on what generator was constructed with. Note that returned value may be null in some cases; including case where implementation does not want to exposed raw source to caller. In cases where output has been decorated, object returned here is the decorated version; this allows some level of interaction between users of generator and decorator object.
    In general use of this accessor should be considered as "last effort", i.e. only used if no other mechanism is applicable.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getOutputTarget in class JsonGenerator
  - setRootValueSeparator
```
public JsonGenerator setRootValueSeparator(SerializableString sep)

  - setPrettyPrinter
```
public JsonGenerator setPrettyPrinter(PrettyPrinter pp)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for setting a custom pretty printer, which is usually used to add indentation for improved human readability. By default, generator does not do pretty printing.
    To use the default pretty printer that comes with core Jackson distribution, call JsonGenerator.useDefaultPrettyPrinter() instead.

    setPrettyPrinter in class JsonGenerator
    
    Returns:
    Generator itself (this), to allow chaining
  - getPrettyPrinter
```
public PrettyPrinter getPrettyPrinter()

    Overrides:
    
    getPrettyPrinter in class JsonGenerator
  - useDefaultPrettyPrinter
```
public JsonGenerator useDefaultPrettyPrinter()

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Convenience method for enabling pretty-printing using the default pretty printer (DefaultPrettyPrinter).
    
    Specified by:
    
    useDefaultPrettyPrinter in class JsonGenerator
    
    Returns:
    Generator itself (this), to allow chaining
  - setHighestNonEscapedChar
```
public JsonGenerator setHighestNonEscapedChar(int charCode)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that can be called to request that generator escapes all character codes above specified code point (if positive value); or, to not escape any characters except for ones that must be escaped for the data format (if -1). To force escaping of all non-ASCII characters, for example, this method would be called with value of 127.
    Note that generators are NOT required to support setting of value higher than 127, because there are other ways to affect quoting (or lack thereof) of character codes between 0 and 127. Not all generators support concept of escaping, either; if so, calling this method will have no effect.
    Default implementation does nothing; sub-classes need to redefine it according to rules of supported data format.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setHighestNonEscapedChar in class JsonGenerator
    
    Parameters:
    charCode - Either -1 to indicate that no additional escaping is to be done; or highest code point not to escape (meaning higher ones will be), if positive value.
  - getHighestEscapedChar
```
public int getHighestEscapedChar()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Accessor method for testing what is the highest unescaped character configured for this generator. This may be either positive value (when escaping configuration has been set and is in effect), or 0 to indicate that no additional escaping is in effect. Some generators may not support additional escaping: for example, generators for binary formats that do not use escaping should simply return 0.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getHighestEscapedChar in class JsonGenerator
    
    Returns:
    Currently active limitation for highest non-escaped character, if defined; or -1 to indicate no additional escaping is performed.
  - getCharacterEscapes
```
public CharacterEscapes getCharacterEscapes()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for writing closing marker of a JSON Object value (character '}'; plus possible white space decoration if pretty-printing is enabled).
    Marker can be written if the innermost structured type is Object, and the last written event was either a complete value, or START-OBJECT marker (see JSON specification for more details).

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for writing a field name (JSON String surrounded by double quotes: syntactically identical to a JSON String value), possibly decorated by white space if pretty-printing is enabled.
    Field names can only be written in Object context (check out JSON specification for details), when field name is expected (field names alternate with values).

However, quoting that data format requires (like double-quotes for JSON) will be added around the value if and as necessary.
    Note that some backends may choose not to support this method: for example, if underlying destination is a Writer using this method would require UTF-8 decoding. If so, implementation may instead choose to throw a UnsupportedOperationException due to ineffectiveness of having to decode input.

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeString(String) but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String which has not been escaped using whatever escaping scheme data format requires (for JSON that is backslash-escaping for control characters and double-quotes; for other formats something else). This means that textual JSON backends need to check if value needs JSON escaping, but otherwise can just be copied as is to output. Also, quoting that data format requires (like double-quotes for JSON) will be added around the value if and as necessary.

    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.

    The default implementation delegates to JsonGenerator.writeRaw(String); other backends that support raw inclusion of text are encouraged to implement it in more efficient manner (especially if they use UTF-8 encoding).

```
    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 similar to JsonGenerator.writeBinary(Base64Variant,byte[],int,int), but where input is provided through a stream, allowing for incremental writes without holding the whole input in memory.
    
    Specified by:
    
    writeBinary in class JsonGenerator
    
    Parameters:
    b64variant - Base64 variant to use
    data - InputStream to use for reading binary data to write. Will not be closed after successful write operation
    dataLength - (optional) number of bytes that will be available; or -1 to be indicate it is not known. If a positive length is given, data MUST provide at least that many bytes: if not, an exception will be thrown. Note that implementations need not support cases where length is not known in advance; this depends on underlying data format: JSON output does NOT require length, other formats may.

    Number of bytes read from data and written as binary payload

```
    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.

```
    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.

public void flush()

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method called to flush any buffered content to the underlying target (output stream, writer), and to flush the target itself as well.

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method called to close this generator, so that no more content can be written.
    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.
