## Class MapProperty

- java.lang.Object
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.ConcreteBeanPropertyBase
  - - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.PropertyWriter
    - - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.MapProperty

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    BeanProperty, Named, java.io.Serializable

      public class MapProperty
      extends PropertyWriter

  Helper class needed to support flexible filtering of Map properties with generic JSON Filter functionality. Since `Map`s are not handled as a collection of properties by Jackson (unlike POJOs), bit more wrapping is required.

                                       throws java.lang.Exception

      Description copied from class: `PropertyWriter`
      Serialization method that filter needs to call in cases where property is to be filtered, but the underlying data format requires a placeholder of some kind. This is usually the case for tabular (positional) data formats such as CSV.
      Specified by:
        `serializeAsOmittedField` in class `PropertyWriter`
      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception`

    - #### serializeAsElement

          public void serializeAsElement(java.lang.Object value,
                                com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,

      Description copied from class: `PropertyWriter`
      Serialization method called when output is to be done as an array, that is, not using property names. This is needed when serializing container (`Collection`, array) types, or POJOs using `tabular` ("as array") output format.

      Note that this mode of operation is independent of underlying data format; so it is typically NOT called for fully tabular formats such as CSV, where logical output is still as form of POJOs.

      Specified by:
        `serializeAsElement` in class `PropertyWriter`
      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception`

      Description copied from class: `PropertyWriter`
      Serialization method called when doing tabular (positional) output from databind, but then value is to be omitted. This requires output of a placeholder value of some sort; often similar to `PropertyWriter.serializeAsOmittedField(java.lang.Object, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider)`.
      Specified by:
        `serializeAsPlaceholder` in class `PropertyWriter`
