+/**
+ * A parser that accepts value of JSON field and outputs value in another form (e.g. string
+ * is converted to enum constant) to serve field getters in JsonType interfaces.
+ * <p>
+ * First the input value should be processed by {@link #parseValue(Object, ObjectData)} method
+ * that returns intermediate value (that may be stored in {@link ObjectData#getFieldArray()} array).
+ * Then the output value may be obtained via value post-processor, available
+ * from {@link #getValueFinisher()} (which is null in most cases, but not always).
+ * <p>The parser's name "slow" reads "may be slow". It means that parser may do heavy operations.
+ * Alternatively parser may be (optionally) castable to {@link QuickParser}
+ * via {@link #asQuickParser()} method.
