Codec (Quarkus - Redis Client - Runtime 3.5.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

Codecs.ByteArrayCodec, Codecs.DoubleCodec, Codecs.IntegerCodec, Codecs.JsonCodec, Codecs.StringCodec
```
public interface Codec
```
Redis codec interface.
The Redis data source uses this interface to serialize and deserialize data to and from Redis. A set of default codecs are provided for Strings, Integers, Doubles and Byte arrays. For custom types, either there is a specific implementation of this interface exposed as CDI (Application Scoped) bean, or JSON is used.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`canHandle(Type clazz)`	Checks if the current codec can handle the serialization and deserialization of object from the given type.
`Object`	`decode(byte[] item)`	Decodes the given bytes to an object.
`byte[]`	`encode(Object item)`	Encodes the given object.

- Method Detail
  - canHandle
```
boolean canHandle(Type clazz)
```
    Checks if the current codec can handle the serialization and deserialization of object from the given type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - the type, cannot be null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the codec can handle the type, false otherwise
  - encode
```
byte[] encode(Object item)
```
    Encodes the given object. The type of the given object matches the type used to call the canHandle(Type) method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the item
    
    Returns:
    
    the encoded content
  - decode
```
Object decode(byte[] item)
```
    Decodes the given bytes to an object. The codec must return an instance of the type used to call the canHandle(Type) method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the bytes
    
    Returns:
    
    the object
