Json Jackson 中的 readValue 和 readTree：何时使用哪个

I'm just starting using the Jackson JSON library. Jackson is a very powerful library, but it has a terribly extensive API. A lot of things can be done in multiple ways. This makes it hard to find your way in Jackson - how to know what is the correct/best way of doing things?

Why would I use this solution:

String json = "{\"a\":2, \"b\":\"a string\", \"c\": [6.7, 6, 5.6, 8.0]}";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode node = mapper.readValue(json, JsonNode.class);
if (node.isObject()) {
    ObjectNode obj = mapper.convertValue(node, ObjectNode.class);
    if (obj.has("a")) {
        System.out.println("a=" + obj.get("a").asDouble());
    }
}

通过这样的解决方案:

String json = "{\"a\":2, \"b\":\"a string\", \"c\": [6.7, 6, 5.6, 8.0]}";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode node = mapper.readTree(json);
if (node.isObject()) {
    ObjectNode obj = (ObjectNode) node;
    if (obj.has("a")) {
        System.out.println("a=" + obj.get("a").asDouble());
    }
}     

或者是我遇到的使用JsonFactory和JsonParser的解决方案，甚至还有更多选项……

It seems to mee that mapper.readValue is most generic and can be used in a lot of cases: read to JsonNode, ObjectNode, ArrayNode, PoJo, etc. So why would I want to use mapper.readTree?

将JsonNode转换为ObjectNode的最佳方式是什么？只是强制转换到ObjectNode？或者使用mapper之类的工具.价值？
