*
*
* The class {@link javax.json.Json Json} also provides methods to create

* preferred when creating multiple parser instances as shown in the following
* example:
*
*
*
* JsonParserFactory factory = Json.createParserFactory();
* JsonParser parser1 = factory.createParser(...);
* JsonParser parser2 = factory.createParser(...);
*
*
*
* All the methods in this class are safe for use by multiple concurrent
