This is a multi-module umbrella project for Jackson standard text-format dataformat backends.

Dataformat backends are used to support format alternatives to JSON, supported by default. This is done by sub-classing Jackson core abstractions of:

• All backends sub-class JsonFactory, which is factory for:
  • JsonParser for reading data (decoding data encoding in supported format)
  • JsonGenerator for writing data (encoding data using supported format)
• Some backends sub-class ObjectMapper for additional support for databinding

Currently included backends are:

• CSV
• Properties
• YAML

Standard supported formats that are not yet included here (but are likely added in future) are:

• XML

All modules are licensed under Apache License 2.0.

To use these format backends Maven-based projects, use following dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackson-dataformat-[FORMAT]</artifactId>
  <version>2.9.0</version>
</dependency>

where [FORMAT] is one of supported modules (csv, properties, yaml)
