Interface JsonObject

public interface JsonObject

Objects which implement this interface are supported for serialization in DslJson. This is used by DSL Platform POJO objects. Annotation processor uses a different method, since it can't modify existing objects to add such signature into them. Objects which implement JsonObject support convention based deserialization in form of public static JSON_READER An example:

     public class MyCustomPojo implements JsonObject {
       public void serialize(JsonWriter writer, boolean minimal) {
         //implement serialization logic, eg: writer.writeAscii("{\"my\":\"object\"}");
       }
       public static final JsonReader.ReadJsonObject<MyCustomPojo> JSON_READER = new JsonReader.ReadJsonObject<MyCustomPojo>() {
         public MyCustomPojo deserialize(JsonReader reader) throws IOException {
           //implement deserialization logic, eg: return new MyCustomPojo();
         }
       }
     }

void	serialize(JsonWriter writer, boolean minimal) Serialize object instance into JsonWriter.

Method Detail

serialize

void serialize(JsonWriter writer,
               boolean minimal)

Serialize object instance into JsonWriter. In DslJson minimal serialization stands for serialization which omits unnecessary information from JSON. An example of such data is false for boolean or null for Integer which can be reconstructed from type definition.

Parameters:

writer - write JSON into target writer

minimal - is minimal serialization requested
