Class PropertyWriter

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.PropertyWriter

Direct Known Subclasses:

BeanPropertyWriter, MapProperty

public abstract class PropertyWriter
extends Object

Base class for writers used to output property values (name-value pairs) as key/value pairs via streaming API. This is the most generic abstraction implemented by both POJO and Map serializers, and invoked by filtering functionality.

Since:

2.3

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
abstract void	depositSchemaProperty(JsonObjectFormatVisitor objectVisitor) Traversal method used for things like JSON Schema generation, or POJO introspection.
abstract void	depositSchemaProperty(ObjectNode propertiesNode, SerializerProvider provider) Deprecated. Since 2.2
abstract PropertyName	getFullName()
abstract String	getName()
abstract void	serializeAsElement(Object pojo, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider prov) Serialization method called when output is to be done as an array, that is, not using property names.
abstract void	serializeAsField(Object pojo, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider prov) The main serialization method called by filter when property is to be written normally.
abstract void	serializeAsOmittedField(Object pojo, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider prov) Serialization method that filter needs to call in cases where property is to be filtered, but the underlying data format requires a placeholder of some kind.
abstract void	serializeAsPlaceholder(Object pojo, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider prov) Serialization method called when doing tabular (positional) output from databind, but then value is to be omitted.

serializeAsField

public abstract void serializeAsField(Object pojo,
                    JsonGenerator jgen,
                    SerializerProvider prov)
                               throws Exception

The main serialization method called by filter when property is to be written normally.

Throws:

Exception

serializeAsOmittedField

public abstract void serializeAsOmittedField(Object pojo,
                           JsonGenerator jgen,
                           SerializerProvider prov)
                                      throws Exception

Serialization method that filter needs to call in cases where property is to be filtered, but the underlying data format requires a placeholder of some kind. This is usually the case for tabular (positional) data formats such as CSV.

Throws:

Exception

serializeAsElement

public abstract void serializeAsElement(Object pojo,
                      JsonGenerator jgen,
                      SerializerProvider prov)
                                 throws Exception

Serialization method called when output is to be done as an array, that is, not using property names. This is needed when serializing container (Collection, array) types, or POJOs using tabular ("as array") output format.

Note that this mode of operation is independent of underlying data format; so it is typically NOT called for fully tabular formats such as CSV, where logical output is still as form of POJOs.

Throws:

Exception

serializeAsPlaceholder

public abstract void serializeAsPlaceholder(Object pojo,
                          JsonGenerator jgen,
                          SerializerProvider prov)
                                     throws Exception

Serialization method called when doing tabular (positional) output from databind, but then value is to be omitted. This requires output of a placeholder value of some sort; often similar to serializeAsOmittedField(java.lang.Object, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider).

Throws:

Exception

depositSchemaProperty

public abstract void depositSchemaProperty(JsonObjectFormatVisitor objectVisitor)
                                    throws JsonMappingException

Traversal method used for things like JSON Schema generation, or POJO introspection.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

depositSchemaProperty

@Deprecated
public abstract void depositSchemaProperty(ObjectNode propertiesNode,
                                    SerializerProvider provider)
                                    throws JsonMappingException

Deprecated. Since 2.2

Legacy method called for JSON Schema generation; should not be called by new code

Throws:

JsonMappingException
