| Contains extended support for "external" packages: things that |
| may or may not be present in runtime environment, but that are |
| commonly enough used so that explicit support can be added. |
| <p> |
| Currently supported extensions include: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Support for Java 1.5 core XML datatypes: the reason these are |
| considered "external" is that some platforms that claim to be 1.5 conformant |
| are only partially so (Google Android, GAE) and do not included these |
| types. |
| </li> |
| <li>Joda time. This package has superior date/time handling functionality, |
| and is thus supported. However, to minimize forced dependencies this |
| support is added as extension so that Joda is not needed by Jackson |
| itself: but if it is present, its core types are supported to some |
| degree |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
