DeserializationContext (jackson-databind 2.3.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DatabindContext
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultDeserializationContext
```
public abstract class DeserializationContext
extends DatabindContext
implements Serializable
```
Context for the process of deserialization a single root-level value. Used to allow passing in configuration settings and reusable temporary objects (scrap arrays, containers).
Instance life-cycle is such that an partially configured "blueprint" object is registered with ObjectMapper (and ObjectReader, and when an actual instance is needed for deserialization, a fully configured instance will be created using a method in excented API of sub-class (DefaultDeserializationContext.createInstance(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationConfig, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.InjectableValues)). Each instance is guaranteed to only be used from single-threaded context; instances may be reused iff no configuration has changed.
Defined as abstract class so that implementations must define methods for reconfiguring blueprints and creating instances.
