Feature that allows parser to recognize set of "Not-a-Number" (NaN) tokens as legal floating number values (similar to how many other data formats and programming language source code allows it). Specific subset contains values that XML Schema (see section 3.2.4.1, Lexical Representation) allows (tokens are quoted contents, not including quotes):
  • "INF" (for positive infinity), as well as alias of "Infinity"

@Deprecated ALLOW_NON_NUMERIC_NUMBERS(false),
Feature allows the support for "missing" values in a JSON array: missing value meaning sequence of two commas, without value in-between but only optional white space. Enabling this feature will expose "missing" values as JsonToken.VALUE_NULL tokens, which typically become Java nulls in arrays and Collection in data-binding.

For example, enabling this feature will represent a JSON array ["value1",,"value3",] as ["value1", null, "value3", null]

Since the JSON specification does not allow missing values this is a non-compliant JSON feature and is disabled by default.

@Deprecated ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES(false),
Feature that determines whether JsonParser will allow for a single trailing comma following the final value (in an Array) or member (in an Object). These commas will simply be ignored.

For example, when this feature is enabled, [true,true,] is equivalent to [true, true] and {"a": true,} is equivalent to {"a": true}.

When combined with ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES, this feature takes priority, and the final trailing comma in an array declaration does not imply a missing (null) value. For example, when both ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES and ALLOW_TRAILING_COMMA are enabled, [true,true,] is equivalent to [true, true], and [true,true,,] is equivalent to [true, true, null].

Since the JSON specification does not permit trailing commas, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

Feature that determines whether JsonParser will explicitly check that no duplicate JSON Object field names are encountered. If enabled, parser will check all names within context and report duplicates by throwing a JsonParseException; if disabled, parser will not do such checking. Assumption in latter case is that caller takes care of handling duplicates at a higher level: data-binding, for example, has features to specify detection to be done there.

Note that enabling this feature will incur performance overhead due to having to store and check additional information: this typically adds 20-30% to execution time for basic parsing.

Since:2.3

STRICT_DUPLICATE_DETECTION(false),
Feature that determines what to do if the underlying data format requires knowledge of all properties to decode (usually via a Schema), and if no definition is found for a property that input content contains. Typically most textual data formats do NOT require schema information (although some do, such as CSV), whereas many binary data formats do require definitions (such as Avro, protobuf), although not all (Smile, CBOR, BSON and MessagePack do not). Further note that some formats that do require schema information will not be able to ignore undefined properties: for example, Avro is fully positional and there is no possibility of undefined data. This leaves formats like Protobuf that have identifiers that may or may not map; and as such Protobuf format does make use of this feature.

Note that support for this feature is implemented by individual data format module, if (and only if) it makes sense for the format in question. For JSON, for example, this feature has no effect as properties need not be pre-defined.

Feature is disabled by default, meaning that if the underlying data format requires knowledge of all properties to output, attempts to read an unknown property will result in a JsonProcessingException

Since:2.6

IGNORE_UNDEFINED(false), // // // Other
Feature that determines whether JsonLocation instances should be constructed with reference to source or not. If source reference is included, its type and contents are included when `toString()` method is called (most notably when printing out parse exception with that location information). If feature is disabled, no source reference is passed and source is only indicated as "UNKNOWN".

Most common reason for disabling this feature is to avoid leaking information about internal information; this may be done for security reasons. Note that even if source reference is included, only parts of contents are usually printed, and not the whole contents. Further, many source reference types can not necessarily access contents (like streams), so only type is indicated, not contents.

Feature is enabled by default, meaning that "source reference" information is passed and some or all of the source content may be included in JsonLocation information constructed either when requested explicitly, or when needed for an exception.

Method similar to getText, but that will return underlying (unmodifiable) character array that contains textual value, instead of constructing a String object to contain this information. Note, however, that:

Note that caller MUST NOT modify the returned character array in any way -- doing so may corrupt current parser state and render parser instance useless.

Method that can be used to determine whether calling of getTextCharacters would be the most efficient way to access textual content for the event parser currently points to.
