## Uses of Class
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Version

Packages that use Version
com.fasterxml.jackson.core: Main public API classes of the core streaming JSON processor: most importantly `JsonFactory` used for constructing JSON parser (`JsonParser`) and generator (`JsonGenerator`) instances.
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base: Base classes used by concrete Parser and Generator implementations; contain functionality that is not specific to JSON or input abstraction (byte vs char).
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json: JSON-specific parser and generator implementation classes that Jackson defines and uses.
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util: Utility classes used by Jackson Core functionality.

### Uses of Version in com.fasterxml.jackson.core

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core that return Version
`static Version` Version.`unknownVersion()` Method returns canonical "not known" version, which is used as version in cases where actual version information is not known (instead of null).
`Version` Versioned.`version()` Method called to detect version of the component that implements this interface; returned version should never be null, but may return specific "not available" instance (see `Version` for details).
`abstract Version` ObjectCodec.`version()`
`Version` JsonFactory.`version()`
`abstract Version` JsonParser.`version()` Accessor for getting version of the core package, given a parser instance.
`abstract Version` JsonGenerator.`version()` Accessor for finding out version of the bundle that provided this generator instance.

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core with parameters of type Version
`int` Version.`compareTo(Version other)`

### Uses of Version in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base that return Version
`Version` GeneratorBase.`version()` Implemented with standard version number detection algorithm, typically using a simple generated class, with information extracted from Maven project file during build.
`Version` ParserBase.`version()`

### Uses of Version in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json

Fields in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json declared as Version
`static Version` PackageVersion.`VERSION`

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json that return Version
`Version` PackageVersion.`version()`
`Version` JsonGeneratorImpl.`version()`

### Uses of Version in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util that return Version
`static Version` VersionUtil.`mavenVersionFor(ClassLoader cl, String groupId, String artifactId)` Deprecated. Since 2.6: functionality not used by any official Jackson component, should be moved out if anyone needs it
`static Version` VersionUtil.`packageVersionFor(Class<?> cls)` Deprecated. Since 2.12 simply use `VersionUtil.versionFor(Class)` instead
`static Version` VersionUtil.`parseVersion(String s, String groupId, String artifactId)` Method used by `PackageVersion` classes to decode version injected by Maven build.
`Version` VersionUtil.`version()` Deprecated.
`Version` JsonGeneratorDelegate.`version()`
`Version` JsonParserDelegate.`version()`
`static Version` VersionUtil.`versionFor(Class<?> cls)` Loads version information by introspecting a class named "PackageVersion" in the same package as the given class.
