JsonNodeFactory (jackson-databind 2.14.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.JsonNodeFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonNodeCreator, Serializable
```
public class JsonNodeFactory
extends Object
implements Serializable, JsonNodeCreator
```
Base class that specifies methods for getting access to Node instances (newly constructed, or shared, depending on type), as well as basic implementation of the methods. Designed to be sub-classed if extended functionality (additions to behavior of node types, mostly) is needed.

  - MAX_ELEMENT_INDEX_FOR_INSERT

protected static final int MAX_ELEMENT_INDEX_FOR_INSERT

    Constant that defines maximum JsonPointer element index we use for inserts.

  - instance
```
public static final JsonNodeFactory instance
```
    Default singleton instance that construct "standard" node instances: given that this class is stateless, a globally shared singleton can be used.
- Constructor Detail
  - JsonNodeFactory
```
public JsonNodeFactory(boolean bigDecimalExact)
```
    Main constructor
    The only argument to this constructor is a boolean telling whether DecimalNode instances must be built with exact representations of BigDecimal instances.
    
    This has quite an influence since, for instance, a BigDecimal (and, therefore, a DecimalNode) constructed from input string "1.0" and another constructed with input string "1.00" will not be equal, since their scale differs (1 in the first case, 2 in the second case).
    
    Note that setting the argument to true does not guarantee a strict inequality between JSON representations: input texts "0.1" and "1e-1", for instance, yield two equivalent BigDecimal instances since they have the same scale (1).
    
    The no-arg constructor (and the default instance) calls this constructor with false as an argument.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bigDecimalExact - see description

  - JsonNodeFactory
```
protected JsonNodeFactory()
```
