    • _suppressableValue

      protected final Object _suppressableValue
      Value that indicates suppression mechanism to use for values contained; either "filter" (of which equals() is called), or marker value of MARKER_FOR_EMPTY, or null to indicate no filtering for non-null values.

    • unwrappingSerializer

      public JsonSerializer<T> unwrappingSerializer(NameTransformer transformer)
      Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
      Method that will return serializer instance that produces "unwrapped" serialization, if applicable for type being serialized (which is the case for some serializers that produce JSON Objects as output). If no unwrapped serializer can be constructed, will simply return serializer as-is.

      Default implementation just returns serializer as-is, indicating that no unwrapped variant exists

      Overrides:
      unwrappingSerializer in class JsonSerializer<T>
      Parameters:
      transformer - Name transformation to use to convert between names of unwrapper properties

    • withResolved

      protected abstract ReferenceTypeSerializer<T> withResolved(BeanProperty prop, TypeSerializer vts, JsonSerializer<?> valueSer, NameTransformer unwrapper)
      Mutant factory method called when changes are needed; should construct newly configured instance with new values as indicated.

      NOTE: caller has verified that there are changes, so implementations need NOT check if a new instance is needed.

      Since:
      2.9

    • withContentInclusion

      public abstract ReferenceTypeSerializer<T> withContentInclusion(Object suppressableValue, boolean suppressNulls)
      Mutant factory method called to create a differently constructed instance, specifically with different exclusion rules for contained value.

      NOTE: caller has verified that there are changes, so implementations need NOT check if a new instance is needed.

      Since:
      2.9

    • _isValuePresent

      protected abstract boolean _isValuePresent(T value)
      Method called to see if there is a value present or not. Note that value itself may still be `null`, even if present, if referential type allows three states (absent, present-null, present-non-null); some only allow two (absent, present-non-null).

    • _getReferenced

      protected abstract Object _getReferenced(T value)

    • _getReferencedIfPresent

      protected abstract Object _getReferencedIfPresent(T value)

    • createContextual

      public JsonSerializer<?> createContextual(SerializerProvider provider, BeanProperty property) throws JsonMappingException
      Description copied from interface: ContextualSerializer
      Method called to see if a different (or differently configured) serializer is needed to serialize values of specified property. Note that instance that this method is called on is typically shared one and as a result method should NOT modify this instance but rather construct and return a new instance. This instance should only be returned as-is, in case it is already suitable for use.
      Specified by:
      createContextual in interface ContextualSerializer
      Parameters:
      provider - 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

    • _useStatic

      protected boolean _useStatic(SerializerProvider provider, BeanProperty property, JavaType referredType)

    • isEmpty

      public boolean isEmpty(SerializerProvider provider, T 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<T>

    • isUnwrappingSerializer

      public boolean isUnwrappingSerializer()
      Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
      Accessor for checking whether this serializer is an "unwrapping" serializer; this is necessary to know since it may also require caller to suppress writing of the leading property name.
      Overrides:
      isUnwrappingSerializer in class JsonSerializer<T>

    • getReferredType

      public JavaType getReferredType()
      Since:
      2.9

    • serialize

      public void serialize(T ref, JsonGenerator g, 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:
      ref - 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.
      Throws:
      IOException

    • serializeWithType

      public void serializeWithType(T ref, 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:
      ref - 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

    • 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
