Jackson Glossary: SmileParser
Package: org.codehaus.jackson.smile
Jar: jackson-smile
Role
This is the specialized JsonParser implementation used to parse Smile data format (which is binary equivalent of JSON).
It was added in Jackson 1.6.
Usage
Instances are created using a SmileFactory, similar to how regular JsonParser instances are created using basic JsonFactory. Note that most of the time actual type does not matter, since SmileParser does not significantly extend API:
SmileFactory f = new SmileFactory();
JsonParser jp = f.createJsonParser(inputSource);
