Enumeration that defines simple on/off features to set for ObjectMapper, and accessible (but not changeable) via ObjectReader and ObjectWriter (as well as through various convenience methods through context objects).

Note that in addition to being only mutable via ObjectMapper, changes only take effect when done before any serialization or deserialization calls -- that is, caller must follow "configure-then-use" pattern.

Feature that determines whether otherwise regular "getter" methods (but only ones that handle Collections and Maps, not getters of other type) can be used for purpose of getting a reference to a Collection and Map to modify the property, without requiring a setter method.

Feature that determines whether method and field access modifier settings can be overridden when accessing properties. If enabled, method AccessibleObject.setAccessible may be called to enable access to otherwise unaccessible objects.

Note that this setting may have significant performance implications, since access override helps remove costly access checks on each and every Reflection access. If you are considering disabling this feature, be sure to verify performance consequences if usage is performance sensitive. Also note that performance effects vary between Java platforms (JavaSE vs Android, for example), as well as JDK versions: older versions seemed to have more significant performance difference.

Conversely, on some platforms, it may be necessary to disable this feature as platform does not allow such calls. For example, when developing Applets (or other Java code that runs on tightly restricted sandbox), it may be necessary to disable the feature regardless of performance effects.
