Interface JSONSerializer<T>

All Known Subinterfaces:

DiffJSONSerializer<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

URLReference_Serializer

public interface JSONSerializer<T>

Implementors of this interface knows how to serialize an Object of a given type to JSON and how to deserialize the JSON back into an object. The #serialize(Object, ConnectorMap) and #deserialize(JSONObject, ConnectorMap) methods must be symmetric so they can be chained and produce the original result (or an equal result). Each JSONSerializer implementation can handle an object of a single type - see SerializerMap.

Since:

7.0

Method Summary
