## Class UntypedObjectDeserializer

- java.lang.Object
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer<T>
  - - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std.StdDeserializer<java.lang.Object>
    - - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std.UntypedObjectDeserializer

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ContextualDeserializer, ResolvableDeserializer, java.io.Serializable

      public class UntypedObjectDeserializer
      extends StdDeserializer<java.lang.Object>
      implements ResolvableDeserializer, ContextualDeserializer

  Deserializer implementation that is used if it is necessary to bind content of "unknown" type; something declared as basic `Object` (either explicitly, or due to type erasure). If so, "natural" mapping is used to convert JSON values to their natural Java object matches: JSON arrays to Java `List`s (or, if configured, Object[]), JSON objects to `Map`s, numbers to `Number`s, booleans to `Boolean`s and strings to `String` (and nulls to nulls).

          public void resolve(DeserializationContext ctxt)
                       throws JsonMappingException

      We need to implement this method to properly find things to delegate to: it can not be done earlier since delegated deserializers almost certainly require access to this instance (at least "List" and "Map" ones)
      Specified by:
        `resolve` in interface `ResolvableDeserializer`
      Parameters:
        `ctxt` - Context to use for accessing configuration, resolving secondary deserializers

    - #### createContextual

          public JsonDeserializer<?> createContextual(DeserializationContext ctxt,
                                             BeanProperty property)
                                               throws JsonMappingException

      We only use contextualization for optimizing the case where no customization occurred; if so, can slip in a more streamlined version.
      Specified by:
        `createContextual` in interface `ContextualDeserializer`
      Parameters:
        `ctxt` - Deserialization context to access configuration, additional deserializers that may be needed by this deserializer
        `property` - Method, field or constructor parameter that represents the property (and is used to assign deserialized value). Should be available; but there may be cases where caller can not provide it and null is passed instead (in which case impls usually pass 'this' deserializer as is)
      Returns:
        Deserializer to use for deserializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`

    - #### _withResolved

          protected JsonDeserializer<?> _withResolved(JsonDeserializer<?> mapDeser,
                                          JsonDeserializer<?> listDeser,
                                          JsonDeserializer<?> stringDeser,
                                          JsonDeserializer<?> numberDeser)

    - #### isCachable

          public boolean isCachable()

      Description copied from class: `JsonDeserializer`
      Method called to see if deserializer instance is cachable and usable for other properties of same type (type for which instance was created).

      Note that cached instances are still resolved on per-property basis, if instance implements `ResolvableDeserializer`: cached instance is just as the base. This means that in most cases it is safe to cache instances; however, it only makes sense to cache instances if instantiation is expensive, or if instances are heavy-weight.

      Default implementation returns false, to indicate that no caching is done.

      Overrides:
        `isCachable` in class `JsonDeserializer<java.lang.Object>`

    - #### deserialize

          public java.lang.Object deserialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser p,
                                     DeserializationContext ctxt)
                                       throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `JsonDeserializer`
      Method that can be called to ask implementation to deserialize JSON content into the value type this serializer handles. Returned instance is to be constructed by method itself.

      Pre-condition for this method is that the parser points to the first event that is part of value to deserializer (and which is never JSON 'null' literal, more on this below): for simple types it may be the only value; and for structured types the Object start marker or a FIELD_NAME.

      The two possible input conditions for structured types result from polymorphism via fields. In the ordinary case, Jackson calls this method when it has encountered an OBJECT_START, and the method implementation must advance to the next token to see the first field name. If the application configures polymorphism via a field, then the object looks like the following.

                {
                    "@class": "class name",
                    ...
                }

      Jackson consumes the two tokens (the `@class` field name and its value) in order to learn the class and select the deserializer. Thus, the stream is pointing to the FIELD_NAME for the first field after the @class. Thus, if you want your method to work correctly both with and without polymorphism, you must begin your method with:

                 if (jp.getCurrentToken() == JsonToken.START_OBJECT) {
                   jp.nextToken();
                 }

      This results in the stream pointing to the field name, so that the two conditions align.

      Post-condition is that the parser will point to the last event that is part of deserialized value (or in case deserialization fails, event that was not recognized or usable, which may be the same event as the one it pointed to upon call).

      Note that this method is never called for JSON null literal, and thus deserializers need (and should) not check for it.

      Specified by:
        `deserialize` in class `JsonDeserializer<java.lang.Object>`
      Parameters:
        `p` - Parsed used for reading JSON content
        `ctxt` - Context that can be used to access information about this deserialization activity.
      Returns:
        Deserialized value
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### deserializeWithType

          public java.lang.Object deserializeWithType(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser p,

                                             TypeDeserializer typeDeserializer)
                                               throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `StdDeserializer`
      Base implementation that does not assume specific type inclusion mechanism. Sub-classes are expected to override this method if they are to handle type information.
