/**
 * Factory class for creating JSON processing objects.
 * This class provides the most commonly used methods for creating these
 * objects and their corresponding factories. The factory classes provide
 * all the various ways to create these objects.
 *
 * <p>
 * The methods in this class locate a provider instance using the method
 * {@link JsonProvider#provider()}. This class uses the provider instance
 * to create JSON processing objects.
 *
 * <p>
 * The following example shows how to create a JSON parser to parse
 * an empty array:
 * <pre>
 * <code>
 * StringReader reader = new StringReader("[]");
 * JsonParser parser = Json.createParser(reader);
 * </code>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * All the methods in this class are safe for use by multiple concurrent
 * threads.
