/**
 * The main factory class of Jackson package, used to configure and
 * construct reader (aka parser, {@link JsonParser})
 * and writer (aka generator, {@link JsonGenerator})
 * instances.
 *<p>
 * Factory instances are thread-safe and reusable after configuration
 * (if any). Typically applications and services use only a single
 * globally shared factory instance, unless they need differently
 * configured factories. Factory reuse is important if efficiency matters;
 * most recycling of expensive construct is done on per-factory basis.
 *<p>
 * Creation of a factory instance is a light-weight operation,
 * and since there is no need for pluggable alternative implementations
 * (as there is no "standard" JSON processor API to implement),
 * the default constructor is used for constructing factory
 * instances.
