JacksonSerializer (Axon Framework 2.3.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.axonframework.serializer.json.JacksonSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializer
```
public class JacksonSerializer
extends Object
implements Serializer
```
Serializer implementation that uses Jackson to serialize objects into a JSON format. Although the Jackson serializer requires classes to be compatible with this specific serializer, it providers much more compact serialization, while still being human readable.

Since:

2.2

    Description copied from interface: Serializer
    
    Serialize the given object into a Serialized Object containing the given expectedRepresentation.
    Use Serializer.canSerializeTo(Class) to detect whether the expectedRepresentation is supported by this serializer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    serialize in interface Serializer
    
    Type Parameters:
    T - The expected data type representing the serialized object
    Parameters:
    object - The object to serialize
    expectedRepresentation - The expected data type representing the serialized object
    
    Returns:
    the instance representing the serialized object.
  - getObjectMapper
```
public final com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper getObjectMapper()
```
    Returns the ObjectMapper used by this serializer, allowing for configuration of the serialization settings.
    
    Returns:
    the ObjectMapper instance used by his serializer
  - getWriter
```
protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectWriter getWriter()
```
    Provides the ObjectWriter, with which objects are serialized to JSON form. This method may be overridden to change the configuration of the writer to use.
    
    Returns:
    The writer to serialize objects with
  - getReader
```
protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectReader getReader(Class<?> type)
```
    Provides the ObjectReader, with which objects are read from the JSON form. This method may be overridden to change the configuration of the reader to use.
    
    Parameters:
    type - The type of object to create a reader for

  - canSerializeTo
```
public <T> boolean canSerializeTo(Class<T> expectedRepresentation)
```
    Description copied from interface: Serializer
    
    Indicates whether this Serializer is capable of serializing to the given expectedRepresentation.
    When true, this does *not* guarantee that the serialization and (optional) conversion will also succeed when executed. For example, when a serializer produces a byte[] containing JSON, trying to convert to a Dom4J Document will fail, even though this serializer has a converter to convert byte[] to Dom4J instances.
    
    Specified by:
    
    canSerializeTo in interface Serializer
    
    Type Parameters:
    T - The type of data a Serialized Object should contain
    Parameters:
    expectedRepresentation - The type of data a Serialized Object should contain
    
    Returns:
    true if the expectedRepresentation is supported, otherwise false.
  - deserialize
```
public <S,T> T deserialize(SerializedObject<S> serializedObject)
```
    Description copied from interface: Serializer
    
    Deserializes the first object read from the given bytes. The bytes are not consumed from the array or modified in any way. The resulting object instance is cast to the expected type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    deserialize in interface Serializer
    
    Type Parameters:
    S - The data type of the serialized object
    T - The expected deserialized type
    Parameters:
    serializedObject - the instance describing the type of object and the bytes providing the serialized data
    
    Returns:
    the serialized object, cast to the expected type
  - classForType
```
public Class classForType(SerializedType type)
                   throws UnknownSerializedTypeException
```
    Description copied from interface: Serializer
    
    Returns the class for the given type identifier. The result of this method must guarantee that the deserialized SerializedObject with the given type is an instance of the returned Class.
    If a class cannot be resolved (i.e. because the class is not available on this JVM's classpath) this method throws UnknownSerializedTypeException.
    
    Specified by:
    
    classForType in interface Serializer
    
    Parameters:
    type - The type identifier of the object
    
    Returns:
    the Class representing the type of the serialized Object
    
    Throws:
    
    UnknownSerializedTypeException - if the type cannot be resolved to a class
  - resolveClassName
```
protected String resolveClassName(SerializedType serializedType)
```
    Resolve the class name from the given serializedType. This method may be overridden to customize the names used to denote certain classes, for example, by leaving out a certain base package for brevity.
    
    Parameters:
    serializedType - The serialized type to resolve the class name for
    
    Returns:
    The fully qualified name of the class to load
  - typeForClass
```
public SerializedType typeForClass(Class type)
```
    Description copied from interface: Serializer
    
    Returns the type identifier for the given class. This is the type identifier of the Serialized object as returned by Serializer.serialize(Object, Class).
    
    Specified by:
    
    typeForClass in interface Serializer
    
    Parameters:
    type - Class representing the type of the serializable Object.
    
    Returns:
    The type identifier of the object
  - getConverterFactory
```
public ConverterFactory getConverterFactory()
```
    Description copied from interface: Serializer
    
    Returns the converter factory used by this Serializer to convert between serialized representations. Generally, this ConverterFactory depends on the type of data the serializer serializes to.
