If not, then I would provide a pr when I have time.The main reason is that `Path` was added in JDK 7 and for the longest time Jackson only required JDK 6.With 2.13 jackson-databind requires JDK 8, so adding support in `ObjectMapper` (and `ObjectReader`) would be fine.`jackson-core` (JsonFactory / TokenStreamFactory) however still only requires JDK 6 for 2.13, and while we may consider upgrading the baseline within 2.x no decision has been made (or proposal) for 2.14.So addition in JsonFactory would not yet be possible.So, a PR against `2.14` (this is API add so can not go in as part of 2.13.x patches) for `jackson-databind` would be welcome.Anyone else have comments, suggestions, wrt this question?
Older Android devices only have support for the Java 6 standard library. Some parts of the Java 8 standard library are supported via library desugaring, but unfortunately Path doesn't seem to be among them:
https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support-tableSo adding Path to jackson-databind would make it incompatible with about 3.4% of Android devices (according to apilevels.com). As an app developer currently using 2.13, this would stop me from upgrading to 2.14 for another couple of years, while those old devices gradually die out.
