Interface JsonReader.ClassFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTemporalFactory, JsonReader.CollectionFactory, JsonReader.MapFactory, LocalDateFactory, LocalDateTimeFactory, LocalTimeFactory, TimeZoneFactory, ZonedDateTimeFactory

Enclosing class:

JsonReader

public static interface JsonReader.ClassFactory

Subclass this interface and create a class that will return a new instance of the passed in Class (c). Your subclass will be called when json-io encounters an the new to instantiate an instance of (c). Use the passed in Object o which will be a JsonObject or value to source values for the construction or your class. Make json-io aware that it needs to call your class by calling the public JsonReader.assignInstantiator() API.

Method Detail

newInstance

default Object newInstance(Class<?> c,
                           JsonObject job)

Implement this method to return a new instance of the passed in Class. Use the passed in Object to supply values to the construction of the object.

Parameters:

c - Class of the object that needs to be created

job - JsonObject (if primitive type do job.getPrimitiveValue();

Returns:

a new instance of C. If you completely fill the new instance using the value(s) from object, and no further work is needed for construction, then override the isObjectFinal() method below and return true.

setTarget

default Object setTarget(JsonObject job,
                         Object o)

newInstance

@Deprecated
default Object newInstance(Class<?> c,
                                       Map args)

Deprecated.

newInstance

@Deprecated
default Object newInstance(Class<?> c)

Deprecated.

isObjectFinal

default boolean isObjectFinal()

Returns:

true if this object is instantiated and completely filled using the contents from the Object object [a JsonOject or value]. In this case, no further processing will be performed on the instance. If the object has sub-objects (complex fields), then return false so that the JsonReader will continue on filling out the remaining portion of the object.
