Method Detail

getConfig

public abstract SerializerFactory.Config getConfig()

Since:

1.7

withConfig

public abstract SerializerFactory withConfig(SerializerFactory.Config config)

Method used for creating a new instance of this factory, but with different configuration. Reason for specifying factory method (instead of plain constructor) is to allow proper sub-classing of factories.

Note that custom sub-classes generally must override implementation of this method, as it usually requires instantiating a new instance of factory type. Check out javadocs for BeanSerializerFactory for more details.

Since:

1.7

withAdditionalSerializers

public final SerializerFactory withAdditionalSerializers(Serializers additional)

Convenience method for creating a new factory instance with additional serializer provider; equivalent to calling

   withConfig(getConfig().withAdditionalSerializers(additional));

Since:

1.7

withAdditionalKeySerializers

public final SerializerFactory withAdditionalKeySerializers(Serializers additional)

Since:

1.8

withSerializerModifier

public final SerializerFactory withSerializerModifier(BeanSerializerModifier modifier)

Convenience method for creating a new factory instance with additional bean serializer modifier; equivalent to calling

   withConfig(getConfig().withSerializerModifier(modifier));

Since:

1.7

createSerializer

public abstract JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object> createSerializer(SerializationConfig config,
                                                                  JavaType baseType,
                                                                  BeanProperty property)
                                                           throws JsonMappingException

Method called to create (or, for immutable serializers, reuse) a serializer for given type.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

createTypeSerializer

public abstract TypeSerializer createTypeSerializer(SerializationConfig config,
                                                    JavaType baseType,
                                                    BeanProperty property)
                                             throws JsonMappingException

Method called to create a type information serializer for given base type, if one is needed. If not needed (no polymorphic handling configured), should return null.

Parameters:

baseType - Declared type to use as the base type for type information serializer

Returns:

Type serializer to use for the base type, if one is needed; null if not.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

Since:

1.7

createKeySerializer

public abstract JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object> createKeySerializer(SerializationConfig config,
                                                                     JavaType baseType,
                                                                     BeanProperty property)
                                                              throws JsonMappingException

Method called to create serializer to use for serializing JSON property names (which must be output as JsonToken.FIELD_NAME) for Map that has specified declared key type, and is for specified property (or, if property is null, as root value)

Parameters:

config - Serialization configuration in use

baseType - Declared type for Map keys

property - Property that contains Map being serialized; null when serializing root Map value.

Returns:

Serializer to use, if factory knows it; null if not (in which case default serializer is to be used)

Throws:

JsonMappingException

Since:

1.8
