Method Detail

createSerializer

public <T> JsonSerializer<T> createSerializer(Class<T> type,
                                              SerializationConfig config)

Deprecated. Use createSerializer(JavaType,SerializationConfig) instead

Method called to create (or, for immutable serializers, reuse) a serializer for given type.

Parameters:

type - Type to be serialized

config - Generic serialization configuration

createSerializer

public JsonSerializer<Object> createSerializer(JavaType type,
                                               SerializationConfig config)

Method called to create (or, for immutable serializers, reuse) a serializer for given type.

Default implementation just calls createSerializer(Class, SerializationConfig); sub-classes need to override method

Parameters:

type - Type to be serialized

config - Generic serialization configuration

createTypeSerializer

public TypeSerializer createTypeSerializer(JavaType baseType,
                                           SerializationConfig config)

Method called to create a type information serializer for given base type, if one is needed. If not needed (no polymorphic handling configured), should return null.

Parameters:

baseType - Declared type to use as the base type for type information serializer

Returns:

Type serializer to use for the base type, if one is needed; null if not.
