All Implemented Interfaces:

Versioned
```
public class ObjectMapper
extends ObjectCodec
implements Versioned
```
This mapper (or, data binder, or codec) provides functionality for converting between Java objects (instances of JDK provided core classes, beans), and matching JSON constructs. It will use instances of JsonParser and JsonGenerator for implementing actual reading/writing of JSON.
The main conversion API is defined in ObjectCodec, so that implementation details of this class need not be exposed to streaming parser and generator classes.
Note on caching: root-level deserializers are always cached, and accessed using full (generics-aware) type information. This is different from caching of referenced types, which is more limited and is done only for a subset of all deserializer types. The main reason for difference is that at root-level there is no incoming reference (and hence no referencing property, no referral information or annotations to produce differing deserializers), and that the performance impact greatest at root level (since it'll essentially cache the full graph of deserializers involved).

```
protected final java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap<JavaType,JsonDeserializer<java.lang.Object>> _rootDeserializers

    We will use a separate main-level Map for keeping track of root-level deserializers. This is where most succesful cache lookups get resolved. Map will contain resolvers for all kinds of types, including container types: this is different from the component cache which will only cache bean deserializers.
    Given that we don't expect much concurrency for additions (should very quickly converge to zero after startup), let's explicitly define a low concurrency setting.
    Since version 1.5, these may are either "raw" deserializers (when no type information is needed for base type), or type-wrapped deserializers (if it is needed)
- Constructor Detail
  - ObjectMapper
```
public ObjectMapper()
```
    Default constructor, which will construct the default JsonFactory as necessary, use StdSerializerProvider as its SerializerProvider, and BeanSerializerFactory as its SerializerFactory. This means that it can serialize all standard JDK types, as well as regular Java Beans (based on method names and Jackson-specific annotations), but does not support JAXB annotations.

```
public ObjectMapper(JsonFactory jf)
```
    Construct mapper that uses specified JsonFactory for constructing necessary JsonParsers and/or JsonGenerators.
  - ObjectMapper
```
@Deprecated
public ObjectMapper(SerializerFactory sf)
```
    Deprecated.
    Use other constructors instead; note that you can just set serializer factory with setSerializerFactory(org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializerFactory)
    
    Construct mapper that uses specified SerializerFactory for constructing necessary serializers.

    Method for registering a module that can extend functionality provided by this mapper; for example, by adding providers for custom serializers and deserializers.

    module - Module to register

  - withModule
```
public ObjectMapper withModule(Module module)
```
    Fluent-style alternative to registerModule(org.codehaus.jackson.map.Module); functionally equivalent to:
    mapper.registerModule(module); return mapper;
    NOTE: name is unfortunately misleading in suggesting that a new instance might be created (as is the case with most other 'withXxx()' methods for Jackson core objects) -- this is not the case; rather, this is just a variant of registerModule(org.codehaus.jackson.map.Module) but one that returns 'this' (like it should return, but does not for historical reasons).

```
public SerializationConfig getSerializationConfig()

  - copySerializationConfig
```
public SerializationConfig copySerializationConfig()
```
    Method that creates a copy of the shared default SerializationConfig object that defines configuration settings for serialization. Since it is a copy, any changes made to the configuration object will NOT directly affect serialization done using basic serialization methods that use the shared object (that is, ones that do not take separate SerializationConfig argument.
    The use case is that of changing object settings of the configuration (like date format being used, see SerializationConfig.setDateFormat(java.text.DateFormat)).

```
public ObjectMapper setVisibility(JsonMethod forMethod,
                                  JsonAutoDetect.Visibility visibility)
```
    Convenience method that allows changing configuration for underlying VisibilityCheckers, to change details of what kinds of properties are auto-detected. Basically short cut for doing:
    mapper.setVisibilityChecker( mapper.getVisibilityChecker().withVisibility(forMethod, visibility) );
    one common use case would be to do:
    mapper.setVisibility(JsonMethod.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
    which would make all member fields serializable without further annotations, instead of just public fields (default setting).
    Parameters:
    
    forMethod - Type of property descriptor affected (field, getter/isGetter, setter, creator)
    
    visibility - Minimum visibility to require for the property descriptors of type

```
    Method for enabling automatic inclusion of type information -- needed for proper deserialization of polymorphic types (unless types have been annotated with JsonTypeInfo) -- using "As.PROPERTY" inclusion mechanism and specified property name to use for inclusion (default being "@class" since default type information always uses class name as type identifier)

    Method for configuring the default DateFormat to use when serializing time values as Strings, and deserializing from JSON Strings. This is preferably to directly modifying SerializationConfig and DeserializationConfig instances.
