Interface that defines API for simple extensions that can provide additional deserializers for various types. Access is by a single callback method; instance is to either return a configured JsonDeserializer for specified type, or null to indicate that it does not support handling of the type. In latter case, further calls can be made for other providers; in former case returned deserializer is used for handling of instances of specified type. 

It is strongly recommended that implementations always extend Base and NOT just implement Deserializers. /**

Method that may be called to check whether this deserializer provider would provide
deserializer for values of given type, without attempting to construct (and possibly
fail in some cases) actual deserializer. Mostly needed to support validation
of polymorphic type ids.

Note: implementations should take care NOT to claim supporting types that they do
not recognize as this could to incorrect assumption of safe support by caller.

Method added in this implementation since adding new methods for interfaces
before Java 8 is not a good idea: will be added in Jackson 3.0 for `Deserializers`.
