@Component that provides JsonSerializer, JsonDeserializer or KeyDeserializer implementations to be registered with Jackson when JsonComponentModule is in use. Can be used to annotate implementations directly or a class that contains them as inner-classes. For example: 
@JsonComponent
public class CustomerJsonComponent {
    public static class Serializer extends JsonSerializer<Customer> {
        // ...
    }
    public static class Deserializer extends JsonDeserializer<Customer> {
        // ...
    }
}
