Java Jackson Streaming API identify the current context while creation of the JSON (Check if Object, Array, etc)

Question

I am trying to create JSON in Java using the Jackson Streaming API. I am able to create everything and it's working fine. However, I have a scenario in my recurse method where I need to identify if the current context is Object or Array is there any default method in Jackson which can give me the current incoming context.

As we can see from the below code I am currently using the arrayFlag to make the decision whether an Array has been started by JsonGenerator if so then I am making few decisions. Similarly, now I need to set a flag for Object to see if the Object has been created. I was wondering if there is any default method in JsonGenerator that can give if the current incoming context is Array, Object or String etc so that I can use the direct Method instead of the method instead of these FLags to detect the Array, Object etc.

//Recurse method which will be called for various elements
    private static boolean arrayFlag = false;
    private static void createJson(final JsonGenerator jsonGenerator, final Map<String, List<MyClass>> values){
        
        for (Map.Entry<String, List<MyClass>> elements : values.entrySet()) {
            final String parent = elements.getKey();
            final List<MyClass> children = elements.getValue();
            
            //Calling another method to get the various type such as Object, Array, String etc
            final String type = getType(parent);
            
            if(type.equalsIgnoreCase("object")){
                // If the Array is started then create Object without Name
                 if (arrayFlag) {
                    children.forEach((child) -> {
                       jsonGenerator.writeStartObject();
                       if (child.getChildren().size() > 0) {
                           createJson(jsonGenerator,child.getChildren());
                       });
                    });
                 }else{
                    //If array is not Started then create Object with NAME
                    jsonGenerator.writeFieldName(parent);
                    jsonGenerator.writeStartObject();
                    children.forEach((child) -> {
                        createJson(jsonGenerator, child.getChildren());
                    });
                    jsonGenerator.writeEndObject();
                 }
            }else if (type.equalsIgnoreCase("array")) {
                jsonGenerator.writeFieldName(parent);
                jsonGenerator.writeStartArray();
                arrayFlag = true;
                children.forEach((child) -> {
                    createJson(jsonGenerator, child.getChildren());
                });
                jsonGenerator.writeEndArray();
                arrayFlag = false;
            }
        }
