public interface ContextualSerializer
JsonSerializer
s can implement to get a callback
that can be used to create contextual instances of serializer to use for
handling properties of supported type. This can be useful
for serializers that can be configured by annotations, or should otherwise
have differing behavior depending on what kind of property is being serialized.
Note that in cases where serializer needs both contextualization and
resolution -- that is, implements both this interface and ResolvableSerializer
-- resolution via ResolvableSerializer
occurs first, and contextual
resolution (via this interface) later on.
