com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.JsonValueSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware, ContextualSerializer, java.io.Serializable

public class JsonValueSerializer
extends StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>
implements ContextualSerializer, JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware

Serializer class that can serialize Object that have a JsonValue annotation to indicate that serialization should be done by calling the method annotated, and serializing result it returns.

Implementation note: we will post-process resulting serializer (much like what is done with BeanSerializer) to figure out actual serializers for final types. This must be done from createContextual(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.BeanProperty) method, and NOT from constructor; otherwise we could end up with an infinite loop.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor, JavaType typeHint) Default implementation specifies no format.
JsonSerializer<?>	createContextual(SerializerProvider ctxt, BeanProperty property) We can try to find the actual serializer for value, if we can statically figure out what the result type must be.
JsonNode	getSchema(SerializerProvider ctxt, java.lang.reflect.Type typeHint) Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.
boolean	isEmpty(SerializerProvider ctxt, java.lang.Object bean) Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).
void	serialize(java.lang.Object bean, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider ctxt) Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
void	serializeWithType(java.lang.Object bean, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider ctxt, TypeSerializer typeSer0) 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.

Constructor Detail

JsonValueSerializer

public JsonValueSerializer(AnnotatedMember accessor,
                           TypeSerializer vts,
                           JsonSerializer<?> ser)

Parameters:

ser - Explicit serializer to use, if caller knows it (which occurs if and only if the "value method" was annotated with JsonSerialize.using()), otherwise null

Since:

2.12 added TypeSerializer since 2.11

JsonValueSerializer

@Deprecated
public JsonValueSerializer(AnnotatedMember accessor,
                                       JsonSerializer<?> ser)

Deprecated. Since 2.12

JsonValueSerializer

public JsonValueSerializer(JsonValueSerializer src,
                           BeanProperty property,
                           TypeSerializer vts,
                           JsonSerializer<?> ser,
                           boolean forceTypeInfo)

Method Detail

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty(SerializerProvider ctxt,
                       java.lang.Object bean)

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>

createContextual

public JsonSerializer<?> createContextual(SerializerProvider ctxt,
                                          BeanProperty property)
                                   throws JsonMappingException

We can try to find the actual serializer for value, if we can statically figure out what the result type must be.

Specified by:

createContextual in interface ContextualSerializer

Parameters:

ctxt - Serializer provider to use for accessing config, other serializers

property - Method or field that represents the property (and is used to access value to serialize). Should be available; but there may be cases where caller cannot provide it and null is passed instead (in which case impls usually pass 'this' serializer as is)

Returns:

Serializer to use for serializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

serialize

public void serialize(java.lang.Object bean,
                      JsonGenerator gen,
                      SerializerProvider ctxt)
               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:

bean - Value to serialize; can not be null.

gen - Generator used to output resulting Json content

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

Throws:

java.io.IOException

serializeWithType

public void serializeWithType(java.lang.Object bean,
                              JsonGenerator gen,
                              SerializerProvider ctxt,
                              TypeSerializer typeSer0)
                       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, 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 JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object>

Parameters:

bean - Value to serialize; can not be null.

gen - Generator used to output resulting Json content

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

typeSer0 - Type serializer to use for including type information

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getSchema

public JsonNode getSchema(SerializerProvider ctxt,
                          java.lang.reflect.Type typeHint)
                   throws JsonMappingException

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 StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>

Parameters:

ctxt - The serializer provider.

typeHint - A hint about the type.

Returns:

Json-schema for this serializer.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

acceptJsonFormatVisitor

public void acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor,
                                    JavaType typeHint)
                             throws JsonMappingException

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<java.lang.Object>

typeHint - Type of element (entity like property) being visited

Throws:

JsonMappingException

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
