Module tools.jackson.databind

Package tools.jackson.databind.ext

package tools.jackson.databind.ext

Contains extended support for "external" packages: things that may or may not be present in runtime environment, but that are commonly enough used so that explicit support can be added.

Currently supported extensions include:

• Support for Java 1.5 core XML datatypes: the reason these are considered "external" is that some platforms that claim to be 1.5 conformant are only partially so (Google Android, GAE) and do not included these types.
• Joda time. This package has superior date/time handling functionality, and is thus supported. However, to minimize forced dependencies this support is added as extension so that Joda is not needed by Jackson itself: but if it is present, its core types are supported to some degree
