serializeWithType

public void serializeWithType(JsonGenerator gen,
                     SerializerProvider provider,
                     TypeSerializer typeSer)
                       throws IOException,
                              JsonProcessingException

Description copied from interface: JsonSerializable

Serialization method called when additional type information is expected to be included in serialization, for deserialization to use.

Usually implementation consists of a call to one of methods in TypeSerializer (such as TypeSerializer.writeTypePrefixForObject(Object, JsonGenerator)) followed by serialization of contents, followed by another call to TypeSerializer (such as TypeSerializer.writeTypeSuffixForObject(Object, JsonGenerator)). Exact methods to call in TypeSerializer depend on shape of JSON Object used (Array, Object or scalar like String/Number/Boolean).

Note that some types (most notably, "natural" types: String, Integer, Double and Boolean) never include type information.

Specified by:

serializeWithType in interface JsonSerializable

Throws:

IOException

JsonProcessingException

serialize

public void serialize(JsonGenerator gen,
             SerializerProvider provider)
               throws IOException,
                      JsonProcessingException

Description copied from interface: JsonSerializable

Serialization method called when no additional type information is to be included in serialization.

Specified by:

serialize in interface JsonSerializable

Throws:

IOException

JsonProcessingException
