Class StringSerializer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware, java.io.Serializable

    public final class StringSerializer
    extends StdScalarSerializer<java.lang.Object>
    This is the special serializer for regular Strings.

    Since this is one of "native" types, no type information is ever included on serialization (unlike for most scalar types as of 1.5)

      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty​(SerializerProvider prov,
                               java.lang.Object 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.lang.Object>
      • serialize

        public void serialize​(java.lang.Object value,
                              JsonGenerator gen,
                              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.
        Specified by:
        serialize in class StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        gen - 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
      • serializeWithType

        public final void serializeWithType​(java.lang.Object value,
                                            JsonGenerator gen,
                                            SerializerProvider provider,
                                            TypeSerializer typeSer)
                                     throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from class: StdScalarSerializer
        Default implementation will write type prefix, call regular serialization method (since assumption is that value itself does not need JSON Array or Object start/end markers), and then write type suffix. This should work for most cases; some sub-classes may want to change this behavior.
        Overrides:
        serializeWithType in class StdScalarSerializer<java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        gen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
        provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
        typeSer - Type serializer to use for including type information
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • getSchema

        public JsonNode getSchema​(SerializerProvider provider,
                                  java.lang.reflect.Type typeHint)
        Description copied from class: StdSerializer
        Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.
        Specified by:
        getSchema in interface SchemaAware
        Overrides:
        getSchema in class StdScalarSerializer<java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        provider - The serializer provider.
        typeHint - A hint about the type.
        Returns:
        Json-schema for this serializer.
