Interface BiSerializable

public interface BiSerializable

The interface of class that can serialize and deserialize itself to/from Binder. The class implementing that interface must have default constructor, either public, protected, package-protected or private. Also, it is recommended to register it in a static constructor with DefaultBiMapper.registerClass(Class).

If you need to provide type name alias for BiMapper, annotate your class with BiType.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	deserialize(Binder data, BiDeserializer deserializer) reset state of self according to the serialized data and using the specific deserializer.
Binder	serialize(BiSerializer serializer) Construct a Binder holding all necessary information to reconstruct state with deserialize(Binder, BiDeserializer).
default Binder	toBinder()

Method Detail

deserialize

void deserialize(Binder data,
                 BiDeserializer deserializer)
          throws java.io.IOException

reset state of self according to the serialized data and using the specific deserializer. You can use BiDeserializer.getContext() / BiDeserializer.withContext(Object, BiDeserializer.ContextBlock) to simplify recreating complex states.

Parameters:

data - to deserialize from

deserializer - to deserialize components and use context

Throws:

java.io.IOException

serialize

Binder serialize(BiSerializer serializer)

Construct a Binder holding all necessary information to reconstruct state with deserialize(Binder, BiDeserializer).

Parameters:
