/**
* Class that defines simple API implemented by objects that create value
* instances. Some or all of properties of value instances may
* be initialized by instantiator, rest being populated by deserializer,
* to which value instance is passed.
* Since different kinds of JSON values (structured and scalar)
* may be bound to Java values, in some cases instantiator
* fully defines resulting value; this is the case when JSON value
* is a scalar value (String, number, boolean).
*
* Note that this type is not parameterized (even though it would seemingly
* make sense), because such type information can not be use effectively
* during runtime: access is always using either wildcard type, or just
* basic {@link java.lang.Object}; and so adding type parameter seems
* like unnecessary extra work.
*
* Actual implementations are strongly recommended to be based on
* {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std.StdValueInstantiator}
* which implements all methods, and as such will be compatible
* across versions even if new methods were added to this interface.
