Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor, JavaType typeHint)	Default implementation specifies no format.
JsonSerializer<?>	createContextual(SerializerProvider serializers, BeanProperty property)	This method is needed to resolve contextual annotations like per-property overrides, as well as do recursive call to createContextual of content serializer, if known statically.
JsonSerializer<?>	getContentSerializer()	Accessor for serializer used for serializing contents (List and array elements, Map values etc) of the container for which this serializer is used, if it is known statically.
JavaType	getContentType()	Accessor for finding declared (static) element type for type this serializer is used for.
JsonNode	getSchema(SerializerProvider provider, Type typeHint)	Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.
void	serialize(T value, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider provider)	Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
void	serializeWithType(T value, JsonGenerator g, SerializerProvider provider, TypeSerializer typeSer)	Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.
AsArraySerializerBase<T>	withResolved(BeanProperty property, TypeSerializer vts, JsonSerializer<?> elementSerializer)	Deprecated. since 2.6: use the overloaded method that takes 'unwrapSingle'

createContextual

public JsonSerializer<?> createContextual(SerializerProvider serializers,
                                          BeanProperty property)
                                   throws JsonMappingException

This method is needed to resolve contextual annotations like per-property overrides, as well as do recursive call to createContextual of content serializer, if known statically.

Specified by:

createContextual in interface ContextualSerializer

Parameters:

serializers - Serializer provider to use for accessing config, other serializers

property - Method or field that represents the property (and is used to access value to serialize). Should be available; but there may be cases where caller cannot provide it and null is passed instead (in which case impls usually pass 'this' serializer as is)

Returns:

Serializer to use for serializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

getContentType

public JavaType getContentType()

Description copied from class: ContainerSerializer

Accessor for finding declared (static) element type for type this serializer is used for.

Specified by:

getContentType in class ContainerSerializer<T>

getContentSerializer

public JsonSerializer<?> getContentSerializer()

Description copied from class: ContainerSerializer

Accessor for serializer used for serializing contents (List and array elements, Map values etc) of the container for which this serializer is used, if it is known statically. Note that for dynamic types this may return null; if so, caller has to instead use ContainerSerializer.getContentType() and SerializerProvider.findContentValueSerializer(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.BeanProperty).

Specified by:

getContentSerializer in class ContainerSerializer<T>

serialize

public void serialize(T value,
                      JsonGenerator gen,
                      SerializerProvider provider)
               throws 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<T>

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:

IOException

serializeWithType

public void serializeWithType(T value,
                              JsonGenerator g,
                              SerializerProvider provider,
                              TypeSerializer typeSer)
                       throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonSerializer

Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.

Default implementation will throw UnsupportedOperationException to indicate that proper type handling needs to be implemented.

For simple datatypes written as a single scalar value (JSON String, Number, Boolean), implementation would look like:

  // note: method to call depends on whether this type is serialized as JSON scalar, object or Array!
  typeSer.writeTypePrefixForScalar(value, gen);
  serialize(value, gen, provider);
  typeSer.writeTypeSuffixForScalar(value, gen);

and implementations for type serialized as JSON Arrays or Objects would differ slightly, as START-ARRAY/END-ARRAY and START-OBJECT/END-OBJECT pairs need to be properly handled with respect to serializing of contents.

Overrides:

serializeWithType in class JsonSerializer<T>

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:

IOException

getSchema

public JsonNode getSchema(SerializerProvider provider,
                          Type typeHint)
                   throws JsonMappingException

Description copied from class: StdSerializer

Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.

Specified by:

getSchema in interface SchemaAware

Overrides:

getSchema in class StdSerializer<T>

Parameters:

provider - The serializer provider.

typeHint - A hint about the type.

Returns:

Json-schema for this serializer.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

acceptJsonFormatVisitor

public void acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor,
                                    JavaType typeHint)
                             throws JsonMappingException

Description copied from class: StdSerializer

Default implementation specifies no format. This behavior is usually overriden by custom serializers.

Specified by:

acceptJsonFormatVisitor in interface JsonFormatVisitable

Overrides:

acceptJsonFormatVisitor in class StdSerializer<T>

typeHint - Type of element (entity like property) being visited

Throws:

JsonMappingException
