/**
 * <p>{@code Jsonb} provides an abstraction over the JSON Binding framework operations:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code fromJson}: read JSON input, deserialize to Java objects content tree
 * <li>{@code toJson}: serialize Java objects content tree to JSON input
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Instance of this class is created using {@link jakarta.json.bind.JsonbBuilder JsonbBuilder}
 * builder methods:</p>
 * <pre>{@code
 * // Example 1 - Creating Jsonb using default JsonbBuilder instance provided by default JsonbProvider
 * Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.create();
 *
 * // Example 2 - Creating Jsonb instance for a specific provider specified by a class name
 * Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.newBuilder("foo.bar.ProviderImpl).build();
 *
 * // Example 3 - Creating Jsonb instance from a custom provider implementation
 * Jsonb jsonb = new CustomJsonbBuilder().build();
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <b>Deserializing (reading) JSON</b><br>
 * <blockquote>
 * Can de-serialize JSON data that represents either an entire JSON
 * document or a subtree of a JSON document.
 * </blockquote>
 * <blockquote>
 * Reading (deserializing) object content tree from a File:<br><br>
 *    <pre>
 *     Jsonb jsonb = JsonbBuilder.create();
 *     Book book = jsonb.fromJson(new FileReader("jsonfile.json"), Book.class);</pre>
 * If the deserialization process is unable to deserialize the JSON content to an object
 * content tree, fatal error is reported that terminates processing by
 * throwing JsonbException.
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p><b>Serializing (writing) to JSON</b></p>
 * <blockquote>
 * Serialization writes the representation of a Java object content tree into
 * JSON data.
 * </blockquote>
 * <blockquote>
 * Writing (serializing) object content tree to a File:<br><br>
 *    <pre>
 *     jsonb.toJson(object, new FileWriter("foo.json"));</pre>
 * Writing (serializing) to a Writer:<br><br>
 *    <pre>
 *     jsonb.toJson(object, new PrintWriter(System.out));
 *    </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p><b>Encoding</b></p>
 * <blockquote>
 * In deserialization operations ({@code fromJson}), encoding of JSON data is detected automatically.
 * Use the {@link jakarta.json.bind.JsonbConfig JsonbConfig} API to configure expected
 * input encoding used within deserialization operations. Client applications are
 * expected to supply a valid character encoding as defined in the
 * <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159">RFC 7159</a> and supported by Java Platform.
 *
 * In serialization operations ({@code toJson}), UTF-8 encoding is used by default
 * for writing JSON data.
 * Use the {@link jakarta.json.bind.JsonbConfig JsonbConfig} API to configure the
 * output encoding used within serialization operations. Client applications are
 * expected to supply a valid character encoding as defined in the
 * <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159">RFC 7159</a> and supported by Java Platform.
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>For optimal use, {@code JsonbBuilder} and {@code Jsonb} instances should be
 * reused - for a typical use-case, only one {@code Jsonb} instance is
 * required by an application.</p>
 *
 * <p>All the methods in this class are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.</p>
 *
 * <p>Calling {@code Closable.close()} method will cleanup all CDI managed components
 * (such as adapters with CDI dependencies) created during interaction with Jsonb.
 * Calling {@code close()} must be done after all threads has finished interaction with Jsonb.
 * If there are remaining threads working with Jsonb and {@code close()} is called, behaviour is undefined.
 * </p>
