Class JDKArraySerializers.CharArraySerializer

java.lang.Object
tools.jackson.databind.ValueSerializer<T>
tools.jackson.databind.ser.std.StdSerializer<char[]>
tools.jackson.databind.ser.jdk.JDKArraySerializers.CharArraySerializer
All Implemented Interfaces:
JsonFormatVisitable
Enclosing class:
JDKArraySerializers

public static class JDKArraySerializers.CharArraySerializer extends StdSerializer<char[]>
Character arrays are different from other integral number arrays in that they are most likely to be textual data, and should be written as Strings, not arrays of entries.

NOTE: since it is NOT serialized as an array, cannot use AsArraySerializer as base

      public CharArraySerializer()
  • Method Details

    • isEmpty

      public boolean isEmpty(SerializationContext prov, char[] value)
      Description copied from class: ValueSerializer
      Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).

      Default implementation will consider only null values to be empty.

      Overrides:
      isEmpty in class ValueSerializer<char[]>
    • serialize

      public void serialize(char[] value, tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator g, SerializationContext provider) throws tools.jackson.core.JacksonException
      Description copied from class: ValueSerializer
      Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
      Specified by:
      serialize in class StdSerializer<char[]>
      Parameters:
      value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
      g - Generator used to output resulting Json content
      provider - Context that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
      Throws:
      tools.jackson.core.JacksonException
    • serializeWithType

      public void serializeWithType(char[] value, tools.jackson.core.JsonGenerator g, SerializationContext ctxt, TypeSerializer typeSer) throws tools.jackson.core.JacksonException
      Description copied from class: ValueSerializer
      Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.

      Default implementation will throw UnsupportedOperationException to indicate that proper type handling needs to be implemented.

      For simple datatypes written as a single scalar value (JSON String, Number, Boolean), implementation would look like:

        // note: method to call depends on whether this type is serialized as JSON scalar, object or Array!
        typeSer.writeTypePrefixForScalar(value, gen);
        serialize(value, gen, provider);
        typeSer.writeTypeSuffixForScalar(value, gen);
      
      and implementations for type serialized as JSON Arrays or Objects would differ slightly, as START-ARRAY/END-ARRAY and START-OBJECT/END-OBJECT pairs need to be properly handled with respect to serializing of contents.
      Overrides:
      serializeWithType in class ValueSerializer<char[]>
      Parameters:
      value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
      g - Generator used to output resulting Json content
      ctxt - Context that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
      typeSer - Type serializer to use for including type information
      Throws:
      tools.jackson.core.JacksonException
    • acceptJsonFormatVisitor

      public void acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor, JavaType typeHint)
      Description copied from class: StdSerializer
      Default implementation specifies no format. This behavior is usually overriden by custom serializers.
      Specified by:
      acceptJsonFormatVisitor in interface JsonFormatVisitable
      Overrides:
      acceptJsonFormatVisitor in class StdSerializer<char[]>
      typeHint - Type of element (entity like property) being visited
