Package org.codehaus.jackson.map.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.

Package org.codehaus.jackson.map.ext Description

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
