Class ClassSerializer

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer<T>

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.StdSerializer<T>

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.StdScalarSerializer<Class<?>>

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.ClassSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware

public class ClassSerializer
extends StdScalarSerializer<Class<?>>

Also: default bean access will not do much good with Class.class. But we can just serialize the class name and that should be enough.

Method Detail

serialize

public void serialize(Class<?> value,
             JsonGenerator jgen,
             SerializerProvider provider)
               throws IOException,
                      JsonGenerationException

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<Class<?>>

Parameters:

value - Value to serialize; can not be null.

jgen - Generator used to output resulting Json content

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

Throws:

IOException

JsonGenerationException

getSchema

public JsonNode getSchema(SerializerProvider provider,
                 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<Class<?>>

Parameters:

provider - The serializer provider.

typeHint - A hint about the type.

Returns:

Json-schema for this serializer.

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 StdScalarSerializer<Class<?>>

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

Throws:

JsonMappingException
