/**
 * Masks JSON fields within a JSON stream.
 *
 * Invoked by {@link MaskingJsonGenerator} after a field name is written
 * (but before the field's value is known)
 * to determine if the field's value should be masked.
 *
 * Comparison with {@link ValueMasker}
 *
 * 
 *     {@link FieldMasker}s are more efficient than {@link ValueMasker}s, since {@link FieldMasker}s do not inspect values.
 *     {@link FieldMasker}s can mask any type of JSON field (string, number, boolean, array, object), whereas a {@link ValueMasker} can only mask string and number values.
 *     {@link ValueMasker}s can mask element values within an array.  {@link FieldMasker}s can only mask field values.
