41/**
42 * Provides a streaming API to parse and generate
43 * <a href="http://json.org/">JSON</a>.
44 *
45 * <p>
46 * The streaming API consists of the interfaces
47 * {@link javax.json.stream.JsonParser} and
48 * {@link javax.json.stream.JsonGenerator}. The interface {@code JsonParser}
49 * contains methods to parse JSON in a streaming way. The interface
50 * {@code JsonGenerator} contains methods to write JSON to an output source
51 * in a streaming way.
52 *
53 * <p>
54 * {@code JsonParser} provides forward, read-only access to JSON data using the
55 * pull parsing programming model. In this model the application code controls
56 * the thread and calls methods in the parser interface to move the parser
57 * forward or to obtain JSON data from the current state of the parser.
58 *
59 * <p>
60 * {@code JsonGenerator} provides methods to write JSON to an output source.
61 * The generator writes name/value pairs in JSON objects and values in JSON
62 * arrays.
63 *
64 * <p>
65 * The streaming API is a low-level API designed to process large amounts of
66 * JSON data efficiently. Other JSON frameworks (such as JSON binding) can be
67 * implemented using this API.
