      Default implementation simply returns `this`; sub-classes that do support filtering will need to create and return new instance if filter changes.

                                             throws JsonMappingException

      Description copied from interface: `ContextualSerializer`
      Method called to see if a different (or differently configured) serializer is needed to serialize values of specified property. Note that instance that this method is called on is typically shared one and as a result method should NOT modify this instance but rather construct and return a new instance. This instance should only be returned as-is, in case it is already suitable for use.
      Specified by:
        `createContextual` in interface `ContextualSerializer`
      Parameters:
        `provider` - Serializer provider to use for accessing config, other serializers
        `property` - Method or field that represents the property (and is used to access value to serialize). 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' serializer as is)
      Returns:
        Serializer to use for serializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`

    - #### getContentType

          public JavaType getContentType()

      Description copied from class: `ContainerSerializer`
      Accessor for finding declared (static) element type for type this serializer is used for.
      Specified by:
        `getContentType` in class `ContainerSerializer<java.util.Map<?,?>>`

    - #### getContentSerializer

          public JsonSerializer<?> getContentSerializer()

      Description copied from class: `ContainerSerializer`
      Accessor for serializer used for serializing contents (List and array elements, Map values etc) of the container for which this serializer is used, if it is known statically. Note that for dynamic types this may return null; if so, caller has to instead use `ContainerSerializer.getContentType()` and `SerializerProvider.findValueSerializer(java.lang.Class<?>, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.BeanProperty)`.
      Specified by:
        `getContentSerializer` in class `ContainerSerializer<java.util.Map<?,?>>`

    - #### isEmpty

          public boolean isEmpty(SerializerProvider prov,
                        java.util.Map<?,?> value)

      Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
      Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).

      Default implementation will consider only null values to be empty.

      NOTE: replaces `JsonSerializer.isEmpty(Object)`, which was deprecated in 2.5

      Overrides:
        `isEmpty` in class `JsonSerializer<java.util.Map<?,?>>`

    - #### hasSingleElement

          public boolean hasSingleElement(java.util.Map<?,?> value)

      Description copied from class: `ContainerSerializer`
      Method called to determine if the given value (of type handled by this serializer) contains exactly one element.

      Note: although it might seem sensible to instead define something like "getElementCount()" method, this would not work well for containers that do not keep track of size (like linked lists may not).

      Specified by:
        `hasSingleElement` in class `ContainerSerializer<java.util.Map<?,?>>`

    - #### getKeySerializer

          public JsonSerializer<?> getKeySerializer()

      Accessor for currently assigned key serializer. Note that this may return null during construction of `MapSerializer`: depedencies are resolved during `createContextual(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.BeanProperty)` method (which can be overridden by custom implementations), but for some dynamic types, it is possible that serializer is only resolved during actual serialization.
      Since:
        2.0

    - #### serialize

          public void serialize(java.util.Map<?,?> value,
                       com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,
                       SerializerProvider provider)
                         throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
      Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
      Specified by:
        `serialize` in class `StdSerializer<java.util.Map<?,?>>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        `gen` - Generator used to output resulting Json content
        `provider` - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### serializeWithType

          public void serializeWithType(java.util.Map<?,?> value,
                               com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,
                               SerializerProvider provider,
                               TypeSerializer typeSer)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
      Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.

      Default implementation will throw `UnsupportedOperationException` to indicate that proper type handling needs to be implemented.

      For simple datatypes written as a single scalar value (JSON String, Number, Boolean), implementation would look like:

            // note: method to call depends on whether this type is serialized as JSON scalar, object or Array!
            typeSer.writeTypePrefixForScalar(value, gen);
            serialize(value, gen, provider);
            typeSer.writeTypeSuffixForScalar(value, gen);

      and implementations for type serialized as JSON Arrays or Objects would differ slightly, as `START-ARRAY`/`END-ARRAY` and `START-OBJECT`/`END-OBJECT` pairs need to be properly handled with respect to serializing of contents.
      Overrides:
        `serializeWithType` in class `JsonSerializer<java.util.Map<?,?>>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        `gen` - Generator used to output resulting Json content
        `provider` - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
        `typeSer` - Type serializer to use for including type information
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

                               throws java.io.IOException

      General-purpose serialization for contents, where we do not necessarily know the value serialization, but we do know that no value suppression is needed (which simplifies processing a bit)
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### serializeOptionalFields

          public void serializeOptionalFields(java.util.Map<?,?> value,
                                     com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,
                                     SerializerProvider provider,
                                     java.lang.Object suppressableValue)
