/**
* Service Provider Interface (SPI) to plug in implementations for
* JSON processing objects.
*
* {@link jakarta.json.spi.JsonProvider JsonProvider} is an abstract class
* that provides a service for creating JSON processing instances.
* A service provider for {@code JsonProvider} provides an
* specific implementation by subclassing and implementing the methods in
* {@code JsonProvider}. This enables using custom, efficient JSON processing
* implementations (for e.g. parser and generator) other than the default ones.
*
*
The API locates and loads providers using {@link java.util.ServiceLoader}.
*
* Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method
* in any class or interface in this package will cause a NullPointerException
* to be thrown.
*
* @since JSON Processing 1.0
