## Uses of Class
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.SerializerFactory

Packages that use SerializerFactory
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind: Basic data binding (mapping) functionality that allows for reading JSON content into Java Objects (POJOs) and JSON Trees (`JsonNode`), as well as writing Java Objects and trees as JSON.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.cfg: Package that contains most of configuration-related classes; exception being couple of most-commonly used configuration things (like Feature enumerations) that are at the main level (`com.fasterxml.jackson.databind`).
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser: Contains implementation classes of serialization part of data binding.

### Uses of SerializerFactory in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser

Subclasses of SerializerFactory in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser
`class` `BasicSerializerFactory` Factory class that can provide serializers for standard JDK classes, as well as custom classes that extend standard classes or implement one of "well-known" interfaces (such as `Collection`).
`class` `BeanSerializerFactory` Factory class that can provide serializers for any regular Java beans (as defined by "having at least one get method recognizable as bean accessor" -- where `Object.getClass()` does not count); as well as for "standard" JDK types.

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser that return SerializerFactory
`abstract SerializerFactory` SerializerFactory.`withAdditionalKeySerializers(Serializers additional)`
`SerializerFactory` BasicSerializerFactory.`withAdditionalKeySerializers(Serializers additional)` Convenience method for creating a new factory instance with an additional key serializer provider.
`abstract SerializerFactory` SerializerFactory.`withAdditionalSerializers(Serializers additional)` Convenience method for creating a new factory instance with additional serializer provider; equivalent to calling withConfig(getConfig().withAdditionalSerializers(additional));
`SerializerFactory` BasicSerializerFactory.`withAdditionalSerializers(Serializers additional)` Convenience method for creating a new factory instance with an additional serializer provider.
`abstract SerializerFactory` BasicSerializerFactory.`withConfig(SerializerFactoryConfig config)` Method used for creating a new instance of this factory, but with different configuration.
`SerializerFactory` BeanSerializerFactory.`withConfig(SerializerFactoryConfig config)` Method used by module registration functionality, to attach additional serializer providers into this serializer factory.
`abstract SerializerFactory` SerializerFactory.`withSerializerModifier(BeanSerializerModifier modifier)` Convenience method for creating a new factory instance with additional bean serializer modifier; equivalent to calling withConfig(getConfig().withSerializerModifier(modifier));
`SerializerFactory` BasicSerializerFactory.`withSerializerModifier(BeanSerializerModifier modifier)` Convenience method for creating a new factory instance with additional bean serializer modifier.

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser with parameters of type SerializerFactory
`abstract DefaultSerializerProvider` DefaultSerializerProvider.`createInstance(SerializationConfig config, SerializerFactory jsf)` Method that sub-classes need to implement: used to create a non-blueprint instances from the blueprint.
`DefaultSerializerProvider.Impl` DefaultSerializerProvider.Impl.`createInstance(SerializationConfig config, SerializerFactory jsf)`

Constructors in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser with parameters of type SerializerFactory
Constructor and Description
