Date: 2013-07-14

## Uses of Class
org.codehaus.jackson.format.MatchStrength

- Packages that use MatchStrength
  Package | Description
  --- | ---
  org.codehaus.jackson | Main public API classes of the core streaming JSON processor: most importantly `JsonFactory` used for constructing JSON parser (`JsonParser`) and generator (`JsonParser`) instances.
  org.codehaus.jackson.format | Package that contains interfaces needed for dynamic, pluggable format (auto)detection; as well as basic utility classes for simple format detection functionality.
  org.codehaus.jackson.impl | Parser and generator implementation classes that Jackson defines and uses.
  org.codehaus.jackson.map | Contains basic mapper (conversion) functionality that allows for converting between regular streaming json content and Java objects (beans or Tree Model: support for both is via `ObjectMapper` class, as well as convenience methods included in `JsonParser`
  org.codehaus.jackson.smile | Package that contains experimental implementation of "Binary-Encoded JSON-Like" data format handlers (parser, generator, factory produce both, supporting constants).

  - ### Uses of MatchStrength in org.codehaus.jackson.format

    Fields in org.codehaus.jackson.format declared as MatchStrength
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected MatchStrength` | DataFormatMatcher.`_matchStrength` Strength of match with `DataFormatMatcher._match`
    `protected MatchStrength` | DataFormatDetector.`_minimalMatch` Strength of minimal match we accept as the answer, unless better matches are found.
    `protected MatchStrength` | DataFormatDetector.`_optimalMatch` Strength of match we consider to be good enough to be used without checking any other formats.

    Methods in org.codehaus.jackson.format that return MatchStrength
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `MatchStrength` | DataFormatMatcher.`getMatchStrength()` Method for accessing strength of the match, if any; if no match, will return `INCONCLUSIVE`.
    `static MatchStrength` | MatchStrength.`valueOf(String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static MatchStrength[]` | MatchStrength.`values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

    Methods in org.codehaus.jackson.format with parameters of type MatchStrength
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `DataFormatMatcher` | InputAccessor.Std.`createMatcher(JsonFactory match, MatchStrength matchStrength)`
    `DataFormatDetector` | DataFormatDetector.`withMinimalMatch(MatchStrength minMatch)` Method that will return a detector instance that uses given minimal match level; match that may be returned unless a stronger match is found with other format detectors.
    `DataFormatDetector` | DataFormatDetector.`withOptimalMatch(MatchStrength optMatch)` Method that will return a detector instance that uses given optimal match level (match that is considered sufficient to return, without trying to find stronger matches with other formats).

    Constructor and Description
    `DataFormatMatcher(InputStream in, byte[] buffered, int bufferedLength, JsonFactory match, MatchStrength strength)`
