Package com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect Description
</H2>

<P>
Functionality needed for Bean introspection, required for detecting
 accessors and mutators for Beans, as well as locating and handling
 method annotations.
<p>
 Beyond collecting annotations, additional "method annotation inheritance"
 is also supported: whereas regular JDK classes do not add annotations
 from overridden methods in any situation. But code in this package does.
 Similarly class-annotations are inherited properly from interfaces, in
 addition to abstract and concrete classes.
