- - ### Uses of JsonPointer in com.fasterxml.jackson.core

    Fields in com.fasterxml.jackson.core declared as JsonPointer
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`_head` Reference from currently matching segment (if any) to node before leaf.
    `protected JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`_nextSegment` Reference to rest of the pointer beyond currently matching segment (if any); null if this pointer refers to the matching segment.
    `protected static JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`EMPTY` Marker instance used to represent segment that matches current node or position (that is, returns true for `matches()`).

    Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core that return JsonPointer
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`_constructHead()`
    `protected JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`_constructHead(int suffixLength, JsonPointer last)`
    `protected static JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`_parseQuotedTail(String input, int i)` Method called to parse tail of pointer path, when a potentially escaped character has been seen.
    `protected static JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`_parseTail(String input)`
    `JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`append(JsonPointer tail)`
    `static JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`compile(String input)` Factory method that parses given input and construct matching pointer instance, if it represents a valid JSON Pointer: if not, a `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown.
    `JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`head()` Accessor for getting a pointer instance that is identical to this instance except that the last segment has been dropped.
    `JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`last()` Returns the leaf of current JSON Pointer expression.
    `JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`matchProperty(String name)`
    `JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`tail()` Accessor for getting a "sub-pointer", instance where current segment has been removed and pointer includes rest of segments.
    `static JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`valueOf(String input)` Alias for `compile(java.lang.String)`; added to make instances automatically deserializable by Jackson databind.

    Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core with parameters of type JsonPointer
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`_constructHead(int suffixLength, JsonPointer last)`
    `JsonPointer` | JsonPointer.`append(JsonPointer tail)`
    `TreeNode` | TreeNode.`at(JsonPointer ptr)` Method for locating node specified by given JSON pointer instances.

    Constructors in com.fasterxml.jackson.core with parameters of type JsonPointer
    Constructor and Description
    `JsonPointer(String fullString, String segment, int matchIndex, JsonPointer next)`
    `JsonPointer(String fullString, String segment, JsonPointer next)` Constructor used for creating non-empty Segments
