/**
* Interface that can be implemented by objects that know how to
* serialize themselves to Json, using {@link JsonGenerator}
* (and {@link SerializerProvider} if necessary).
*
* Note that implementing this interface binds implementing object
* closely to Jackson API, and that it is often not necessary to do
* so -- if class is a bean, it can be serialized without
* implementing this interface.
*
* NOTE: as of version 1.5, this interface is missing one crucial
* aspect, that of dealing with type information embedding.
* Because of this, this interface is deprecated, although will be
* fully supported for all 1.x releases.
*
* @see org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonSerializableWithType
*
* @since 1.5
* @deprecated Use {@link JsonSerializableWithType} instead
