/**
 * Interface that defines API for simple extensions that can provide additional serializers
 * for various types. Access is by a single callback method; instance is to either return
 * a configured {@link JsonSerializer} for specified type, or null to indicate that it
 * does not support handling of the type. In latter case, further calls can be made
 * for other providers; in former case returned serializer is used for handling of
 * instances of specified type.
