Class ToStringSerializerBase

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware, java.io.Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ToStringSerializer

    public abstract class ToStringSerializerBase
    extends StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>
    Intermediate base class that serves as base for standard ToStringSerializer as well as for custom subtypes that want to add processing for converting from value to output into its String representation (whereas standard version simply calls value object's toString() method).
    Since:
    2.10

      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty​(SerializerProvider prov,
                               java.lang.Object value)
        Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
        Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).

        Default implementation will consider only null values to be empty.

        NOTE: replaces JsonSerializer.isEmpty(Object), which was deprecated in 2.5

        Overrides:
        isEmpty in class JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object>
      • serialize

        public void serialize​(java.lang.Object value,
                              JsonGenerator gen,
                              SerializerProvider provider)
                       throws java.io.IOException
        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 StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        gen - 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
      • serializeWithType

        public void serializeWithType​(java.lang.Object value,
                                      JsonGenerator g,
                                      SerializerProvider provider,
                                      TypeSerializer typeSer)
                               throws java.io.IOException
        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.
        g - 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
