    All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods Deprecated Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `JsonWriteContext` | `clearAndGetParent()` Method that can be used to both clear the accumulated references (specifically value set with `setCurrentValue(Object)`) that should not be retained, and returns parent (as would `getParent()` do).

    `String` | `getCurrentName()` Method for accessing name associated with the current location.
    `Object` | `getCurrentValue()` Method for accessing currently active value being used by data-binding (as the source of streaming data to write, or destination of data being read), at this level in hierarchy.
    `DupDetector` | `getDupDetector()`
    `JsonWriteContext` | `getParent()` Accessor for finding parent context of this context; will return null for root context.

    - #### withDupDetector

          public JsonWriteContext withDupDetector(DupDetector dups)

    - #### getCurrentValue

          public Object getCurrentValue()

      Description copied from class: `JsonStreamContext`
      Method for accessing currently active value being used by data-binding (as the source of streaming data to write, or destination of data being read), at this level in hierarchy.

      Note that "current value" is NOT populated (or used) by Streaming parser or generator; it is only used by higher-level data-binding functionality. The reason it is included here is that it can be stored and accessed hierarchically, and gets passed through data-binding.

      Overrides:
        `getCurrentValue` in class `JsonStreamContext`
      Returns:
        Currently active value, if one has been assigned.

    - #### setCurrentValue

          public void setCurrentValue(Object v)

      Description copied from class: `JsonStreamContext`
      Method to call to pass value to be returned via `JsonStreamContext.getCurrentValue()`; typically called indirectly through `JsonParser.setCurrentValue(java.lang.Object)` or `JsonGenerator.setCurrentValue(java.lang.Object)`).
      Overrides:
        `setCurrentValue` in class `JsonStreamContext`

    - #### getParent

          public final JsonWriteContext getParent()

      Description copied from class: `JsonStreamContext`
      Accessor for finding parent context of this context; will return null for root context.
      Specified by:
        `getParent` in class `JsonStreamContext`

    - #### getCurrentName

          public final String getCurrentName()

      Description copied from class: `JsonStreamContext`
      Method for accessing name associated with the current location. Non-null for `FIELD_NAME` and value events that directly follow field names; null for root level and array values.
      Specified by:
        `getCurrentName` in class `JsonStreamContext`

    - #### clearAndGetParent

          public JsonWriteContext clearAndGetParent()

      Method that can be used to both clear the accumulated references (specifically value set with `setCurrentValue(Object)`) that should not be retained, and returns parent (as would `getParent()` do). Typically called when closing the active context when encountering `JsonToken.END_ARRAY` or `JsonToken.END_OBJECT`.
      Since:
        2.7

    - #### getDupDetector

          public DupDetector getDupDetector()
