    Versioned

      public class SmileFactory
      extends JsonFactory

  Factory used for constructing `SmileParser` and `SmileGenerator` instances; both of which handle Smile encoded data.

  Extends `JsonFactory` mostly so that users can actually use it in place of regular non-Smile factory instances.

  Note on using non-byte-based sources/targets (char based, like `Reader` and `Writer`): these can not be used for Smile-format documents, and thus will either downgrade to textual JSON (when parsing), or throw exception (when trying to create generator).

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SmileFactory

          public SmileFactory()

      Default constructor used to create factory instances. Creation of a factory instance is a light-weight operation, but it is still a good idea to reuse limited number of factory instances (and quite often just a single instance): factories are used as context for storing some reused processing objects (such as symbol tables parsers use) and this reuse only works within context of a single factory instance.

      Description copied from class: `JsonFactory`
      Method for constructing JSON parser instance to parse contents of specified file. Encoding is auto-detected from contents according to JSON specification recommended mechanism.

      Underlying input stream (needed for reading contents) will be owned (and managed, i.e. closed as need be) by the parser, since caller has no access to it.

      Overrides:
        `createJsonParser` in class `JsonFactory`
      Parameters:
        `f` - File that contains JSON content to parse
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `JsonParseException`

      Description copied from class: `JsonFactory`
      Method for constructing JSON parser instance to parse contents of resource reference by given URL. Encoding is auto-detected from contents according to JSON specification recommended mechanism.

      Underlying input stream (needed for reading contents) will be owned (and managed, i.e. closed as need be) by the parser, since caller has no access to it.

      Overrides:
        `createJsonParser` in class `JsonFactory`
      Parameters:
        `url` - URL pointing to resource that contains JSON content to parse
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `JsonParseException`

    - #### createJsonParser

      Description copied from class: `JsonFactory`
      Method for constructing JSON parser instance to parse the contents accessed via specified input stream.

      The input stream will not be owned by the parser, it will still be managed (i.e. closed if end-of-stream is reacher, or parser close method called) if (and only if) `JsonParser.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_SOURCE` is enabled.

      Note: no encoding argument is taken since it can always be auto-detected as suggested by Json RFC.

        `in` - InputStream to use for reading JSON content to parse
