Implementation discovery consists of following steps:
<ol>
<li>If the system property <a href="../../../jakarta/json/spi/JsonProvider.html#JSONP_PROVIDER_FACTORY">"jakarta.json.provider"</a> exists,
then its value is assumed to be the provider factory class.
This phase of the look up enables per-JVM override of the JsonProvider implementation.</li>
<li>The provider is loaded using the <code>ServiceLoader.load(Class)</code> method.</li>
<li>If all the steps above fail, then the rest of the look up is unspecified. That said,
the recommended behavior is to simply look for some hard-coded platform default Jakarta
JSON Processing implementation. This phase of the look up is so that a platform can have
its own Jakarta JSON Processing implementation as the last resort.</li>
