Module org.refcodes.factory

Package org.refcodes.factory

Interface UnmarshalTypeFactory<T,SRC>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the data structure to which an marshaled (external) representation is to be unmarshaled.

SRC - The type of the marshaled representation.

All Known Subinterfaces:

UnmarshalTypeFactory.UnmarshalTypeFactoryComposite<T,SRC,C>

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface UnmarshalTypeFactory<T,SRC>

The UnmarshalTypeFactory defines the functionality which must be provided in order to create unmarshaling functionality from an external representation such as a String or an InputStream to an internal representation of a given data structure.

Method Details

toUnmarshaled

T toUnmarshaled(SRC aExternalRepresentation)
         throws org.refcodes.exception.UnmarshalException

This method creates / retrieves (converts to) an instance from the provided external representation.

Parameters:

aExternalRepresentation - The external representation of the data structure to be created.

Returns:

The according unmarshaled data structure from the external representation.

Throws:

org.refcodes.exception.UnmarshalException - Thrown when unmarshaling / deserializing an object fails.

toUnmarshaled

default T toUnmarshaled(SRC aExternalRepresentation,
 Map<String,String> aProperties)
                 throws org.refcodes.exception.UnmarshalException

This method creates / retrieves (converts to) an instance from the provided external representation.

Parameters:

aExternalRepresentation - The external representation of the data structure to be created.

aProperties - The dynamic properties which are used to configure the desired result.

Returns:

The according unmarshaled data structure from the external representation.

Throws:

org.refcodes.exception.UnmarshalException - Thrown when unmarshaling / deserializing an object fails.
