Enclosing class:
JsonGenerator

public static enum JsonGenerator.Feature extends Enum<JsonGenerator.Feature>
Enumeration that defines all togglable features for generators.
  • Enum Constant Details

    • AUTO_CLOSE_TARGET

      public static final JsonGenerator.Feature AUTO_CLOSE_TARGET
      Feature that determines whether generator will automatically close underlying output target that is NOT owned by the generator. If disabled, calling application has to separately close the underlying OutputStream and Writer instances used to create the generator. If enabled, generator will handle closing, as long as generator itself gets closed: this happens when end-of-input is encountered, or generator is closed by a call to JsonGenerator.close().

      Feature is enabled by default.

    • AUTO_CLOSE_JSON_CONTENT

      public static final JsonGenerator.Feature AUTO_CLOSE_JSON_CONTENT
      Feature that determines what happens when the generator is closed while there are still unmatched JsonToken.START_ARRAY or JsonToken.START_OBJECT entries in output content. If enabled, such Array(s) and/or Object(s) are automatically closed; if disabled, nothing specific is done.

      Feature is enabled by default.

    • QUOTE_FIELD_NAMES

      public static final JsonGenerator.Feature QUOTE_FIELD_NAMES
      Feature that determines whether JSON Object field names are quoted using double-quotes, as specified by JSON specification or not. Ability to disable quoting was added to support use cases where they are not usually expected, which most commonly occurs when used straight from Javascript.
    • QUOTE_NON_NUMERIC_NUMBERS

      public static final JsonGenerator.Feature QUOTE_NON_NUMERIC_NUMBERS
      Feature that determines whether "exceptional" (not real number) float/double values are output as quoted strings. The values checked are Double.Nan, Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY and Double.NEGATIVE_INIFINTY (and associated Float values). If feature is disabled, these numbers are still output using associated literal values, resulting in non-conformant output.

      Feature is enabled by default.

    • WRITE_NUMBERS_AS_STRINGS

      public static final JsonGenerator.Feature WRITE_NUMBERS_AS_STRINGS
      Feature that forces all Java numbers to be written as JSON strings. Default state is 'false', meaning that Java numbers are to be serialized using basic numeric serialization (as JSON numbers, integral or floating point). If enabled, all such numeric values are instead written out as JSON Strings.

      One use case is to avoid problems with Javascript limitations: since Javascript standard specifies that all number handling should be done using 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point values, result being that some 64-bit integer values can not be accurately represent (as mantissa is only 51 bit wide).

      Feature is disabled by default.

      Since:
      1.3
    • FLUSH_PASSED_TO_STREAM

      public static final JsonGenerator.Feature FLUSH_PASSED_TO_STREAM
      Feature that specifies that calls to JsonGenerator.flush() will cause matching flush() to underlying OutputStream or Writer; if disabled this will not be done. Main reason to disable this feature is to prevent flushing at generator level, if it is not possible to prevent method being called by other code (like ObjectMapper or third party libraries).

      Feature is enabled by default.

      Since:
      1.7
    • ESCAPE_NON_ASCII

      public static final JsonGenerator.Feature ESCAPE_NON_ASCII
      Feature that specifies that all characters beyond 7-bit ASCII range (i.e. code points of 128 and above) need to be output using format-specific escapes (for JSON, backslash escapes), if format uses escaping mechanisms (which is generally true for textual formats but not for binary formats).
      Since:
      1.8
  • Method Details

    • values

      public static JsonGenerator.Feature[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
    • valueOf

      public static JsonGenerator.Feature valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
    • collectDefaults

      public static int collectDefaults()
      Method that calculates bit set (flags) of all features that are enabled by default.
    • enabledByDefault

      public boolean enabledByDefault()
    • getMask

      public int getMask()
