Class TokenBufferSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:
JsonFormatVisitable

public class TokenBufferSerializer extends StdSerializer<TokenBuffer>
We also want to directly support serialization of TokenBuffer; and since it is part of core package, it cannot implement JacksonSerializable (which is only included in the mapper package)

    • serialize

      public void serialize(TokenBuffer value, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializationContext provider) throws JacksonException
      Description copied from class: ValueSerializer
      Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
      Specified by:
      serialize in class StdSerializer<TokenBuffer>
      Parameters:
      value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
      jgen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
      provider - Context that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
      Throws:
      JacksonException
    • serializeWithType

      public final void serializeWithType(TokenBuffer value, JsonGenerator g, SerializationContext ctxt, TypeSerializer typeSer) throws JacksonException
      Implementing typed output for contents of a TokenBuffer is very tricky, since we do not know for sure what its contents might look like (or, rather, we do know when serializing, but not necessarily when deserializing!) One possibility would be to check the current token, and use that to determine if we would output JSON Array, Object or scalar value.

      Note that we just claim it is scalar; this should work ok and is simpler than doing introspection on both serialization and deserialization.

      Overrides:
      serializeWithType in class ValueSerializer<TokenBuffer>
      Parameters:
      value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
      g - Generator used to output resulting Json content
      ctxt - Context that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
      typeSer - Type serializer to use for including type information
      Throws:
      JacksonException
    • acceptJsonFormatVisitor

      public void acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor, JavaType typeHint)
      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<TokenBuffer>
      typeHint - Type of element (entity like property) being visited
