public class JavaSerializer extends Object implements Serializer
XStreamSerializer
might be a more suitable alternative.Constructor and Description |
---|
JavaSerializer()
Initialize the serializer using a SerialVersionUIDRevisionResolver, which uses the SerialVersionUID field of the
serializable object as the Revision.
|
JavaSerializer(RevisionResolver revisionResolver)
Initialize the serializer using a SerialVersionUIDRevisionResolver.

expectedRepresentation . |
Class |
classForType(SerializedType type)
Returns the class for the given type identifier.
|
<S,T> T |
deserialize(SerializedObject<S> serializedObject)
Deserializes the first object read from the given
bytes . |
Converter |
getConverter()
Returns the
Converter used by this Serializer to convert between serialized representations. |
<T> SerializedObject<T> |
serialize(Object instance,
Class<T> expectedType)
Serialize the given
object into a Serialized Object containing 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.canSerializeTo
