com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.AsArraySerializerBase<java.util.Collection<?>>

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.CollectionSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware, ContextualSerializer, java.io.Serializable

public class CollectionSerializer
extends AsArraySerializerBase<java.util.Collection<?>>

Fallback serializer for cases where Collection is not known to be of type for which more specializer serializer exists (such as index-accessible List). If so, we will just construct an Iterator to iterate over elements.

Specified by:

withResolved in class AsArraySerializerBase<java.util.Collection<?>>

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty(SerializerProvider prov,
                       java.util.Collection<?> value)

Description copied from class: JsonSerializer

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.

NOTE: replaces JsonSerializer.isEmpty(Object), which was deprecated in 2.5

Overrides:

isEmpty in class JsonSerializer<java.util.Collection<?>>

hasSingleElement

public boolean hasSingleElement(java.util.Collection<?> value)

Description copied from class: ContainerSerializer

Method called to determine if the given value (of type handled by this serializer) contains exactly one element.

Note: although it might seem sensible to instead define something like "getElementCount()" method, this would not work well for containers that do not keep track of size (like linked lists may not).

Note, too, that as of now (2.9) this method is only called by serializer itself; and specifically is not used for non-array/collection types like Map or Map.Entry instances.

Specified by:

hasSingleElement in class ContainerSerializer<java.util.Collection<?>>

serialize

public final void serialize(java.util.Collection<?> value,
                            JsonGenerator g,
                            SerializerProvider provider)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: JsonSerializer

Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.

Overrides:

serialize in class AsArraySerializerBase<java.util.Collection<?>>

Parameters:

value - Value to serialize; can not be null.

g - Generator used to output resulting Json content

provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

serializeContents

public void serializeContents(java.util.Collection<?> value,
                              JsonGenerator g,
                              SerializerProvider provider)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

serializeContentsUsing

public void serializeContentsUsing(java.util.Collection<?> value,
                                   JsonGenerator g,
                                   SerializerProvider provider,
                                   JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object> ser)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Throws:
