`void`	`writeRaw(java.lang.String text, int start, int len)`	Method that will force generator to copy input text verbatim with no modifications (including that no escaping is done and no separators are added even if context [array, object] would otherwise require such).
`private void`	`writeRawLong(java.lang.String text)`
`void`	`writeRawUTF8String(byte[] text, int offset, int length)`	Method similar to `JsonGenerator.writeString(String)` but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String that is to be output as-is, without additional escaping (type of which depends on data format; backslashes for JSON).
`void`	`writeStartArray()`	Method for writing starting marker of a Array value (for JSON this is character '['; plus possible white space decoration if pretty-printing is enabled).
`void`	`writeStartArray(int size)`	Method for writing start marker of an Array value, similar to `JsonGenerator.writeStartArray()`, but also specifying how many elements will be written for the array before calling `JsonGenerator.writeEndArray()`.

`void`	`writeString(char[] text, int offset, int len)`	Method for outputting a String value.
`void`	`writeString(SerializableString sstr)`	Method similar to `JsonGenerator.writeString(String)`, but that takes `SerializableString` which can make this potentially more efficient to call as generator may be able to reuse quoted and/or encoded representation.
`void`	`writeString(java.io.Reader reader, int len)`	Method for outputting a String value.
`void`	`writeString(java.lang.String text)`	Method for outputting a String value.

  - getOutputTarget
```
public java.lang.Object getOutputTarget()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that can be used to get access to object that is used as target for generated output; this is usually either OutputStream or Writer, depending on what generator was constructed with. Note that returned value may be null in some cases; including case where implementation does not want to exposed raw source to caller. In cases where output has been decorated, object returned here is the decorated version; this allows some level of interaction between users of generator and decorator object.
    In general use of this accessor should be considered as "last effort", i.e. only used if no other mechanism is applicable.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getOutputTarget in class JsonGenerator
  - getOutputBuffered
```
public int getOutputBuffered()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for verifying amount of content that is buffered by generator but not yet flushed to the underlying target (stream, writer), in units (byte, char) that the generator implementation uses for buffering; or -1 if this information is not available. Unit used is often the same as the unit of underlying target (that is, `byte` for OutputStream, `char` for Writer), but may differ if buffering is done before encoding. Default JSON-backed implementations do use matching units.
    Note: non-JSON implementations will be retrofitted for 2.6 and beyond; please report if you see -1 (missing override)
    
    Overrides:
    
    getOutputBuffered in class JsonGenerator
    
    Returns:
    
    Amount of content buffered in internal units, if amount known and accessible; -1 if not accessible.
  - canWriteFormattedNumbers
```
public boolean canWriteFormattedNumbers()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Introspection method to call to check whether it is possible to write numbers using JsonGenerator.writeNumber(java.lang.String) using possible custom format, or not. Typically textual formats allow this (and JSON specifically does), whereas binary formats do not allow this (except by writing them as Strings). Usual reason for calling this method is to check whether custom formatting of numbers may be applied by higher-level code (databinding) or not.

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method for writing a field name (JSON String surrounded by double quotes: syntactically identical to a JSON String value), possibly decorated by white space if pretty-printing is enabled.
    Field names can only be written in Object context (check out JSON specification for details), when field name is expected (field names alternate with values).

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeString(String), but that takes SerializableString which can make this potentially more efficient to call as generator may be able to reuse quoted and/or encoded representation.

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeString(String) but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String that is to be output as-is, without additional escaping (type of which depends on data format; backslashes for JSON). However, quoting that data format requires (like double-quotes for JSON) will be added around the value if and as necessary.
    Note that some backends may choose not to support this method: for example, if underlying destination is a Writer using this method would require UTF-8 decoding. If so, implementation may instead choose to throw a UnsupportedOperationException due to ineffectiveness of having to decode input.

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeString(String) but that takes as its input a UTF-8 encoded String which has not been escaped using whatever escaping scheme data format requires (for JSON that is backslash-escaping for control characters and double-quotes; for other formats something else). This means that textual JSON backends need to check if value needs JSON escaping, but otherwise can just be copied as is to output. Also, quoting that data format requires (like double-quotes for JSON) will be added around the value if and as necessary.
    Note that some backends may choose not to support this method: for example, if underlying destination is a Writer using this method would require UTF-8 decoding. In this case generator implementation may instead choose to throw a UnsupportedOperationException due to ineffectiveness of having to decode input.

```
    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Method that will output given chunk of binary data as base64 encoded, as a complete String value (surrounded by double quotes). This method defaults
    Note: because JSON Strings can not contain unescaped linefeeds, if linefeeds are included (as per last argument), they must be escaped. This adds overhead for decoding without improving readability. Alternatively if linefeeds are not included, resulting String value may violate the requirement of base64 RFC which mandates line-length of 76 characters and use of linefeeds. However, all JsonParser implementations are required to accept such "long line base64"; as do typical production-level base64 decoders.
    
    Specified by:
    
    writeBinary in class JsonGenerator
    
    Parameters:
    
    b64variant - Base64 variant to use: defines details such as whether padding is used (and if so, using which character); what is the maximum line length before adding linefeed, and also the underlying alphabet to use.

    dataLength - (optional) number of bytes that will be available; or -1 to be indicate it is not known. If a positive length is given, data MUST provide at least that many bytes: if not, an exception will be thrown. Note that implementations need not support cases where length is not known in advance; this depends on underlying data format: JSON output does NOT require length, other formats may.

    Description copied from class: JsonGenerator
    
    Write method that can be used for custom numeric types that can not be (easily?) converted to "standard" Java number types. Because numbers are not surrounded by double quotes, regular JsonGenerator.writeString(java.lang.String) method can not be used; nor JsonGenerator.writeRaw(java.lang.String) because that does not properly handle value separators needed in Array or Object contexts.
    Note: because of lack of type safety, some generator implementations may not be able to implement this method. For example, if a binary JSON format is used, it may require type information for encoding; similarly for generator-wrappers around Java objects or JSON nodes. If implementation does not implement this method, it needs to throw UnsupportedOperationException.
