void	add()	Add this ListSerializer to the SerializeManager by calling SerializeManager.add(SerializerBase).

Method Detail

type

public abstract java.lang.Class<T> type()

Describes the Class type this Serializer should be used for by the YAPIONSerializer and YAPIONDeserializer this Serializer will be used preferably as it should suite the Class better than the internal fallback.

Specified by:

type in class SerializerBase<T,YAPIONObject>

Returns:

the Class Type this Serializer is for

isInterface

public boolean isInterface()

Returns true if type() should be treated as an interface. YAPIONSerializer and YAPIONDeserializer will treat this return type as secondary choice if a more specific serializer is missing.

Returns:

true if type() should be treated as an interface, false otherwise

serialize

public abstract YAPIONObject serialize(SerializeData<T> serializeData)

This method is used to serialize the type defined by type(). You will get the object to serialize as well as the current YAPIONSerializer designated to this serialization. This serializer should be used to serialize any parts of the Object that are not primitive types. So anything that cannot be represented by YAPIONValue. To use the serializer call YAPIONSerializer.parse(Object). You will need to provide the Object and the YAPIONSerializer will provide you with an YAPIONAnyType. This is generic and can be an YAPIONObject, YAPIONMap, YAPIONArray, YAPIONPointer or YAPIONValue. So you should be able to handle any thing you can get or just handle it generically with YAPIONAnyType to be safe.

Specified by:

serialize in class SerializerBase<T,YAPIONObject>

Parameters:

serializeData - all data for serialization

Returns:

the serialized version of the inputted Object

deserialize

public abstract T deserialize(DeserializeData<YAPIONObject> deserializeData)

This method is used to deserialize the type defined by type(). You will get the specified YAPIONObject as well as the current YAPIONDeserializer designed to this deserialization. This deserializer should be used to deserialize any parts of the YAPIONObject that are not YAPIONValue types. So anything that cannot be represented by YAPIONValue. To use the serializer call YAPIONDeserializer.parse(YAPIONAnyType). You will need to provide the YAPIONAnyType and the YAPIONDeserializer will provide you with an Object. This is generic and can be any Object. So you should be able to handle any thing generically.

Specified by:

deserialize in class SerializerBase<T,YAPIONObject>

Parameters:

deserializeData - all data for deserialization

Returns:

the deserialized version of the inputted YAPIONObject

convert

public InternalSerializer<T> convert()

Overrides:

convert in class SerializerBase<T,YAPIONObject>

add

public final void add()

Add this ListSerializer to the SerializeManager by calling SerializeManager.add(SerializerBase).
