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

Packages that use Version
Package | Description
--- | ---
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
Modifier and Type | Method and Description
--- | ---
`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).
`Version` | ObjectCodec.`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.
`Version` | JsonFactory.`version()`

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core with parameters of type Version
Modifier and Type | Method and Description

`int` | Version.`compareTo(Version other)`

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

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base that return Version
Modifier and Type | Method and Description
--- | ---
`Version` | ParserBase.`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.

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

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util that return Version
Modifier and Type | Method and Description
--- | ---
`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)` Loads version information by introspecting a class named "PackageVersion" in the same package as the given class.
`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()`
`Version` | JsonParserDelegate.`version()`
`Version` | JsonGeneratorDelegate.`version()`
`static Version` | VersionUtil.`versionFor(Class<?> cls)` Helper method that will try to load version information for specified class.
