Interface Codec

All Known Implementing Classes:

Codecs.AbstractCodec, Codecs.ArrayCodec, Codecs.CollectionCodec, Codecs.DefaultCodec, Codecs.LongArrayCodec, Codecs.MapCodec

public interface Codec

A Codec provides an interception point for any specific code that needs to be executed pre or post (de)serialization. In the case of deserialization this could be to return a concrete implementation and with serialization this could be to explicitly call a specific method on PofWriter that is not carried out by PofWriter.writeObject(int, Object).

Since:

3.7.1

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Object	decode(PofReader in, int iProp)	Deserialize an object from the provided PofReader.
void	encode(PofWriter out, int iProp, Object value)	Serialize an object using the provided PofWriter.

Method Detail

decode

Object decode(PofReader in,
              int iProp)
       throws IOException

Deserialize an object from the provided PofReader. Implementing this interface allows introducing specific return implementations.

Parameters:

in - the PofReader to read from

iProp - the index of the POF property to deserialize

Returns:

a specific implementation of the POF property

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

encode

void encode(PofWriter out,
            int iProp,
            Object value)
     throws IOException

Serialize an object using the provided PofWriter.

Parameters:

out - the PofWriter to read from

iProp - the index of the POF property to serialize

value - the value to serialize

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs
