## Uses of Class
org.codehaus.jackson.JsonFactory

- Packages that use JsonFactory
  Package | Description
  --- | ---
  org.codehaus.jackson | Main public API classes of the core streaming JSON processor: most importantly `JsonFactory` used for constructing JSON parser (`JsonParser`) and generator (`JsonParser`) instances.
  org.codehaus.jackson.format | Package that contains interfaces needed for dynamic, pluggable format (auto)detection; as well as basic utility classes for simple format detection functionality.
  org.codehaus.jackson.map | Contains basic mapper (conversion) functionality that allows for converting between regular streaming json content and Java objects (beans or Tree Model: support for both is via `ObjectMapper` class, as well as convenience methods included in `JsonParser`
  org.codehaus.jackson.smile | Package that contains experimental implementation of "Binary-Encoded JSON-Like" data format handlers (parser, generator, factory produce both, supporting constants).
