Deprecated Methods

Method	Description
com.cedarsoftware.io.factory.EnumClassFactory.fromString(Class<?>, String)	Use Converter.convert() instead. This method is retained for backward compatibility with any subclasses that may override it.
com.cedarsoftware.io.JsonIo.toObjects(JsonObject, ReadOptions, Class<T>)	Use JsonIo.toJava(JsonObject, ReadOptions) with .asClass(Class) instead. This method will be removed in version 5.0.0. Example: Person p = JsonIo.toJava(jsonObj, opts).asClass(Person.class);
com.cedarsoftware.io.JsonIo.toObjects(InputStream, ReadOptions, Class<T>)	Use JsonIo.toJava(InputStream, ReadOptions) with .asClass(Class) instead. This method will be removed in version 5.0.0. Example: Person p = JsonIo.toJava(stream, opts).asClass(Person.class);
com.cedarsoftware.io.JsonIo.toObjects(String, ReadOptions, Class<T>)	Use JsonIo.toJava(String, ReadOptions) with .asClass(Class) instead. This method will be removed in version 5.0.0. Example: Person p = JsonIo.toJava(json, opts).asClass(Person.class);
com.cedarsoftware.io.JsonObject.getLength()
com.cedarsoftware.io.JsonValue.getJavaType()	This method will be removed in a future version. Use getRawType() instead.
com.cedarsoftware.io.JsonValue.setJavaType(Class<?>)	This method will be removed in a future version. Use setType() instead.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.findClosest(Class<?>, Map<Class<?>, T>, T)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ClassUtilities.findClosest(Class, Map, Object) directly instead.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.getClassIfEnum(Class<?>)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ClassUtilities.getClassIfEnum(Class) directly instead.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.isLogicalPrimitive(Class<?>)
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.isPrimitive(Class<?>)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ClassUtilities.isPrimitive(Class) directly instead.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.length(String)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use StringUtilities.length(String) to safely determine the length of a string without risking a NullPointerException.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.loadResourceAsBytes(String)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ClassUtilities.loadResourceAsBytes(String) directly instead.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.loadResourceAsString(String)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ClassUtilities.loadResourceAsString(String) directly instead.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.newInstance(Converter, Class<?>, Collection<?>)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ClassUtilities.newInstance(Converter, Class, Collection) going forward.
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.removeLeadingAndTrailingQuotes(String)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This method has been moved to StringUtilities.removeLeadingAndTrailingQuotes(String).
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.safelyIgnoreException(Runnable)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ExceptionUtilities.safelyIgnoreException(Runnable)
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.safelyIgnoreException(Callable<T>, T)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ExceptionUtilities.safelyIgnoreException(Callable, T)
com.cedarsoftware.io.MetaUtils.setUseUnsafe(boolean)	This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ClassUtilities.setUseUnsafe(boolean) going forward.
