41/**
42 * Provides an object model API to process <a href="http://json.org/">JSON</a>.
43 *
44 * <p>The object model API is a high-level API that provides immutable object
45 * models for JSON object and array structures. These JSON structures are
46 * represented as object models using the Java types {@link javax.json.JsonObject}
47 * and {@link javax.json.JsonArray}. The interface {@code javax.json.JsonObject} provides
48 * a {@link java.util.Map} view to access the unordered collection of zero or
49 * more name/value pairs from the model. Similarly, the interface
50 * {@code JsonArray} provides a {@link java.util.List} view to access the
51 * ordered sequence of zero or more values from the model.
52 *
53 * <p>The object model API uses builder patterns to create and modify
54 * these object models. The classes {@link javax.json.JsonObjectBuilder} and
55 * {@link javax.json.JsonArrayBuilder} provide methods to create and modify models
56 * of type {@code JsonObject} and {@code JsonArray} respectively.
57 *
58 * <p>These object models can also be created from an input source using
59 * the class {@link javax.json.JsonReader}. Similarly, these object models
60 * can be written to an output source using the class {@link javax.json.JsonWriter}.
61 * <p>
62 * This package includes several classes that implement other JSON related
63 * standards: <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901">JSON Pointer</a>,
64 * <a Href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902">JSON Patch</a>, and
65 * <a Href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396">JSON Merge Patch</a>.
66 * They can be used to retrieve, transform or manipulate values in an
67 * object model.
