OsonProvider (Oracle Database JDBC Java API Reference)

All Superinterfaces:

OracleResourceProvider
```
public interface OsonProvider
extends OracleResourceProvider
```
A provider to create an OsonConverter for conversion of POJO to OSON bytes and vice versa.
The oracle.jdbc.provider.oson connection property identifies the name of a OsonProvider implementation.
ServiceLoader locates implementations of OsonProvider declared by a META-INF/services/oracle.jdbc.spi.OsonProvider file in the class path. Typically, this file is distributed within a jar file that contains a OsonProvider implementation.
