Class JsonNodeFactory

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class JsonNodeFactory
extends Object
implements Serializable

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.

Field Detail

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

protected 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

BigDecimal

JsonNodeFactory

protected JsonNodeFactory()

Default constructor

This calls JsonNodeFactory(boolean) with false as an argument.

Method Detail

withExactBigDecimals

public static JsonNodeFactory withExactBigDecimals(boolean bigDecimalExact)

Return a factory instance with the desired behavior for BigDecimals

See JsonNodeFactory(boolean) for a full description.

Parameters:

bigDecimalExact - see description

Returns:

a factory instance

booleanNode

public BooleanNode booleanNode(boolean v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON boolean value (either literal 'true' or 'false')

nullNode

public NullNode nullNode()

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON null node (which represents literal null value)

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(byte v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given 8-bit value

numberNode

public ValueNode numberNode(Byte value)

Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(short v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given 16-bit integer value

numberNode

public ValueNode numberNode(Short value)

Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(int v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given 32-bit integer value

numberNode

public ValueNode numberNode(Integer value)

Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(long v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given 64-bit integer value

numberNode

public ValueNode numberNode(Long value)

Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(BigInteger v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given unlimited range integer value

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(float v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given 32-bit floating point value

numberNode

public ValueNode numberNode(Float value)

Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(double v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given 64-bit floating point value

numberNode

public ValueNode numberNode(Double value)

Alternate factory method that will handle wrapper value, which may be null. Due to possibility of null, returning type is not guaranteed to be NumericNode, but just ValueNode.

numberNode

public NumericNode numberNode(BigDecimal v)

Factory method for getting an instance of JSON numeric value that expresses given unlimited precision floating point value

In the event that the factory has been built to normalize decimal values, the BigDecimal argument will be stripped off its trailing zeroes, using BigDecimal.stripTrailingZeros().
