      public abstract JsonParser createParser(Reader reader)
      Creates a JSON parser from a character stream.
      Parameters:
      reader - i/o reader from which JSON is to be read
      Returns:
      a JSON parser

    • createParser

      public abstract JsonParser createParser(InputStream in)
      Creates a JSON parser from the specified byte stream. The character encoding of the stream is determined as defined in RFC 4627 .

      Parameters:
      out - i/o stream to which JSON is written
      Returns:
      a JSON generator

    • createGeneratorFactory

      public abstract JsonGeneratorFactory createGeneratorFactory(Map<String,?> config)
