Method Detail

canSerialize

public boolean canSerialize(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Returns whether this serializer can serialize the given specific class.

Specified by:

canSerialize in interface Serializer

Parameters:

clazz - The class of the object to be serialized.

Returns:

Whether this serializer can serialize the given class.

canDeserialize

public boolean canDeserialize(javax.json.JsonValue value)

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Returns whether this serializer can deserialize the given JsonValue.

Specified by:

canDeserialize in interface Serializer

Parameters:

value - The JsonValue to be deserialized.

Returns:

Whether this serializer can serialize the given class.

toJson

public javax.json.JsonValue toJson(java.lang.Object object)

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Serializes the given object to Json. The given object must be of a type which can be serialized by this class. See also Serializer.canSerialize(Class)

Specified by:

toJson in interface Serializer

Parameters:

object - The object to be serialized.

Returns:

The Json corresponding to the object.

fromJson

public java.lang.Object fromJson(javax.json.JsonValue json)

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Deserializes the given Json to an object. The given JsonValue must be deserializable by this class. See also Serializer.canDeserialize(JsonValue)

Specified by:

fromJson in interface Serializer

Parameters:

json - The JsonValue to be deserialized

Returns:

The Json corresponding to the object.

incrementLevel

public void incrementLevel()

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Increments the level, where the level denotes how far into the structure the current serializer is. This can be used for example to create serializers, which stop at a fixed level. Incrementing and decrementing the level only makes sense during serialization. See also Serializer.decrementLevel().

Specified by:

incrementLevel in interface Serializer

decrementLevel

public void decrementLevel()

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Decrements the level. See also Serializer.incrementLevel().

Specified by:

decrementLevel in interface Serializer
