Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	encode(BsonWriter writer, T value, EncoderContext encoderContext) Encode an instance of the type parameter T into a BSON value.
Class<T>	getEncoderClass() Returns the Class instance that this encodes.

Method Detail

encode

void encode(BsonWriter writer,
          T value,
          EncoderContext encoderContext)

Encode an instance of the type parameter T into a BSON value.

Parameters:

writer - the BSON writer to encode into

value - the value to encode

encoderContext - the encoder context

getEncoderClass

Class<T> getEncoderClass()

Returns the Class instance that this encodes. This is necessary because Java does not reify generic types.

Returns:

the Class instance that this encodes.
