    - #### StringArrayDeserializer

          protected StringArrayDeserializer(JsonDeserializer<?> deser,

                                               throws JsonMappingException

      Contextualization is needed to see whether we can "inline" deserialization of String values, or if we have to use separate value deserializer.
      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`

    - #### deserialize

          public java.lang.String[] 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.String[]>`
      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`

    - #### _deserializeCustom

          protected final java.lang.String[] _deserializeCustom(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser p,
                                              DeserializationContext ctxt)
                                                         throws java.io.IOException

      Offlined version used when we do not use the default deserialization method.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### deserializeWithType

          public java.lang.Object deserializeWithType(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser p,
                                             DeserializationContext ctxt,
                                             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.
      Overrides:
        `deserializeWithType` in class `StdDeserializer<java.lang.String[]>`
        `typeDeserializer` - Deserializer to use for handling type information
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`
