+/**
+ * This mapper (or, data binder, or codec) provides functionality for
+ * converting between Java objects (instances of JDK provided core classes,
+ * beans), and matching JSON constructs.
+ * It will use instances of {@link JsonParser} and {@link JsonGenerator}
+ * for implementing actual reading/writing of JSON.
+ *<p>
+ * The main conversion API is defined in {@link ObjectCodec}, so that
+ * implementation details of this class need not be exposed to
+ * streaming parser and generator classes.
+ *<p>
+ * Note on caching: root-level deserializers are always cached, and accessed
+ * using full (generics-aware) type information. This is different from
+ * caching of referenced types, which is more limited and is done only
+ * for a subset of all deserializer types. The main reason for difference
+ * is that at root-level there is no incoming reference (and hence no
+ * referencing property, no referral information or annotations to
+ * produce differing deserializers), and that the performance impact
+ * greatest at root level (since it'll essentially cache the full
+ * graph of deserializers involved).
