Interface SerDes

All Known Implementing Classes:

JacksonSerDes, NoopSerDes

public interface SerDes

Interface for serialization and deserialization of objects.

Implementations must support both simple types via Class and complex generic types via TypeToken.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<T> T	deserialize(String data, TypeToken<T> typeToken)	Deserializes a JSON string to an object of the specified generic type.
String	serialize(Object value)	Serializes an object to a JSON string.

Method Details

serialize

String serialize(Object value)

Serializes an object to a JSON string.

Parameters:

value - the object to serialize

Returns:

the JSON string representation, or null if value is null

deserialize

<T> T deserialize(String data,
 TypeToken<T> typeToken)

Deserializes a JSON string to an object of the specified generic type.

This method supports complex generic types like List<MyObject> or Map<String, MyObject> that cannot be represented by a simple Class object.

Usage example:

 List<String> items = serDes.deserialize(json, new TypeToken<List<String>>() {});
 

Type Parameters:

T - the target type

Parameters:

data - the JSON string to deserialize

typeToken - the type token capturing the generic type information

Returns:

the deserialized object, or null if data is null
