Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
java.lang.String	getPropertyName()	Name of property that contains type information, if property-based inclusion is used.
TypeIdResolver	getTypeIdResolver()	Accessor for object that handles conversions between types and matching type ids.
abstract JsonTypeInfo.As	getTypeInclusion()	Accessor for type information inclusion method that serializer uses; indicates how type information is embedded in resulting JSON.
WritableTypeId	writeTypePrefix(JsonGenerator g, WritableTypeId idMetadata)	Method called to write initial part of type information for given value, along with possible wrapping to use: details are specified by `typeId` argument.
WritableTypeId	writeTypeSuffix(JsonGenerator g, WritableTypeId idMetadata)	Method that should be called after TypeSerializer.writeTypePrefix(JsonGenerator, WritableTypeId) and matching value write have been called, passing WritableTypeId returned.

Method Detail

getTypeInclusion

public abstract JsonTypeInfo.As getTypeInclusion()

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Accessor for type information inclusion method that serializer uses; indicates how type information is embedded in resulting JSON.

Specified by:

getTypeInclusion in class TypeSerializer

getPropertyName

public java.lang.String getPropertyName()

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Name of property that contains type information, if property-based inclusion is used.

Specified by:

getPropertyName in class TypeSerializer

getTypeIdResolver

public TypeIdResolver getTypeIdResolver()

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Accessor for object that handles conversions between types and matching type ids.

Specified by:

getTypeIdResolver in class TypeSerializer

writeTypePrefix

public WritableTypeId writeTypePrefix(JsonGenerator g,
                                      WritableTypeId idMetadata)
                               throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Method called to write initial part of type information for given value, along with possible wrapping to use: details are specified by `typeId` argument. Note that for structured types (Object, Array), this call will add necessary start token so it should NOT be explicitly written, unlike with non-type-id value writes.

See TypeSerializer.writeTypeSuffix(JsonGenerator, WritableTypeId) for a complete example of typical usage.

Specified by:

writeTypePrefix in class TypeSerializer

Parameters:

g - Generator to use for outputting type id and possible wrapping

idMetadata - Details of what type id is to be written, how.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

writeTypeSuffix

public WritableTypeId writeTypeSuffix(JsonGenerator g,
                                      WritableTypeId idMetadata)
                               throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Method that should be called after TypeSerializer.writeTypePrefix(JsonGenerator, WritableTypeId) and matching value write have been called, passing WritableTypeId returned. Usual idiom is:

 // Indicator generator that type identifier may be needed; generator may write
 // one as suggested, modify information, or take some other action 
 // NOTE! For Object/Array types, this will ALSO write start marker!
 WritableTypeId typeIdDef = typeSer.writeTypePrefix(gen,
          typeSer.typeId(value, JsonToken.START_OBJECT));

 // serializing actual value for which TypeId may have been written... like
 // NOTE: do NOT write START_OBJECT before OR END_OBJECT after:
 g.writeStringField("message", "Hello, world!"

 // matching type suffix call to let generator chance to add suffix, if any
 // NOTE! For Object/Array types, this will ALSO write end marker!
 typeSer.writeTypeSuffix(gen, typeIdDef);
