Class ToStringSerializer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    SchemaAware
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ToStringSerializer

    public class ToStringSerializer
    extends SerializerBase<java.lang.Object>
    Simple general purpose serializer, useful for any type for which Object.toString() returns the desired JSON value.
    • Constructor Detail

      • ToStringSerializer

        public ToStringSerializer()

        Note: usually you should NOT create new instances, but instead use instance which is stateless and fully thread-safe. However, there are cases where constructor is needed; for example, when using explicit serializer annotations like JsonSerialize.using().

        public void serialize​(java.lang.Object value,
                              JsonGenerator jgen,
                              SerializerProvider provider)
                       throws java.io.IOException,
                              JsonGenerationException
        Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
        Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
        Specified by:
        serialize in class SerializerBase<java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        jgen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
        provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
        JsonGenerationException
      • serializeWithType

        public void serializeWithType​(java.lang.Object value,
                                      JsonGenerator jgen,
                                      SerializerProvider provider,
                                      TypeSerializer typeSer)
                               throws java.io.IOException,
                                      JsonGenerationException
        Default implementation will write type prefix, call regular serialization method (since assumption is that value itself does not need JSON Array or Object start/end markers), and then write type suffix. This should work for most cases; some sub-classes may want to change this behavior.
        Overrides:
        serializeWithType in class JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        jgen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
        provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
        typeSer - Type serializer to use for including type information
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
        JsonGenerationException
