public interface NullValueProvider

Helper interface implemented by classes that are to be used as null providers during deserialization. Most importantly implemented by JsonDeserializer (as a mix-in interface), but also by converters used to support more configurable null replacement.

Since:

2.9

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AccessPattern	getNullAccessPattern()	Accessor that may be used to determine if and when provider must be called to access null replacement value.
Object	getNullValue(DeserializationContext ctxt)	Method called to possibly convert incoming `null` token (read via underlying streaming input source) into other value of type accessor supports.

Method Detail

getNullValue

Object getNullValue(DeserializationContext ctxt)
             throws JsonMappingException

Method called to possibly convert incoming `null` token (read via underlying streaming input source) into other value of type accessor supports. May return `null`, or value compatible with type binding.

NOTE: if getNullAccessPattern() returns `ALWAYS_NULL` or `CONSTANT`, this method WILL NOT use provided `ctxt` and it may thus be passed as `null`.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

getNullAccessPattern

AccessPattern getNullAccessPattern()

Accessor that may be used to determine if and when provider must be called to access null replacement value.
