/**
* {@code Jsonb} provides an abstraction over the JSON Binding framework operations:
*
*
* - {@code fromJson}: read JSON input, deserialize to Java objects content tree
*
- {@code toJson}: serialize Java objects content tree to JSON input
*
*
* Instance of this class is created using {@link jakarta.json.bind.JsonbBuilder JsonbBuilder}
* builder methods:
* {@code
* // Example 1 - Creating Jsonb using default JsonbBuilder instance provided by default JsonbProvider
* Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.create();
*
* // Example 2 - Creating Jsonb instance for a specific provider specified by a class name
* Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.newBuilder("foo.bar.ProviderImpl).build();
*
* // Example 3 - Creating Jsonb instance from a custom provider implementation
* Jsonb jsonb = new CustomJsonbBuilder().build();
* }
*
* Deserializing (reading) JSON
*
* Can de-serialize JSON data that represents either an entire JSON
* document or a subtree of a JSON document.
*
*
* Reading (deserializing) object content tree from a File:
*
* Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.create();
* Book book = jsonb.fromJson(new FileReader("jsonfile.json"), Book.class);
* If the deserialization process is unable to deserialize the JSON content to an object
* content tree, fatal error is reported that terminates processing by
* throwing JsonbException.
*
*
* Serializing (writing) to JSON
*
* Serialization writes the representation of a Java object content tree into
* JSON data.
*
*
* Writing (serializing) object content tree to a File:
*
* jsonb.toJson(object, new FileWriter("foo.json"));
* Writing (serializing) to a Writer:
*
* jsonb.toJson(object, new PrintWriter(System.out));
*
*
*
* Encoding
*
* In deserialization operations ({@code fromJson}), encoding of JSON data is detected automatically.
* Use the {@link jakarta.json.bind.JsonbConfig JsonbConfig} API to configure expected
* input encoding used within deserialization operations. Client applications are
* expected to supply a valid character encoding as defined in the
* RFC 7159 and supported by Java Platform.
*
* In serialization operations ({@code toJson}), UTF-8 encoding is used by default
* for writing JSON data.
* Use the {@link jakarta.json.bind.JsonbConfig JsonbConfig} API to configure the
* output encoding used within serialization operations. Client applications are
* expected to supply a valid character encoding as defined in the
* RFC 7159 and supported by Java Platform.
*
*
* For optimal use, {@code JsonbBuilder} and {@code Jsonb} instances should be
* reused - for a typical use-case, only one {@code Jsonb} instance is
* required by an application.
*
* All the methods in this class are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.
*
* Calling {@code Closable.close()} method will cleanup all CDI managed components
* (such as adapters with CDI dependencies) created during interaction with Jsonb.
* Calling {@code close()} must be done after all threads has finished interaction with Jsonb.
* If there are remaining threads working with Jsonb and {@code close()} is called, behaviour is undefined.
