+/**
+ * The CoreFactory is a service locator for JsonEngines
+ * Because core does not have a dependency on the various Json implementations
+ * this class automatically finds and holds on to a implementation.
+ *
+ * It will look in the following places in this order:
+ *  1. use the java.util.ServiceLoader to load a class by looking for a meta config file in
+ *     the resources. They should exist at META-INF.services/kong.unirest.core.json.JsonEngine
+ *     The ServiceLoader will use the first one it finds.
+ *     see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html
+ *
+ *  2. It will attempt to load the loader by class name from the classloader by known names in order. These are:
+ *      1. kong.unirest.jackson.JacksonEngine
+ *      2. kong.unirest.gson.GsonEngine
+ *
+ *  3. Clients may set a engine with the setEngine method
