All Implemented Interfaces:

PlainTextMetaProvider

public class PlainTextSerializer
extends WriterSerializer
implements PlainTextMetaProvider

Serializes POJOs to plain text using just the toString() method on the serialized object.

Media types

Handles Accept types: text/plain

Produces Content-Type types: text/plain

Description

Essentially converts POJOs to plain text using the toString() method.

Also serializes objects using a transform if the object class has an ObjectSwap<?,String> transform defined on it.

Notes:

• This class is thread safe and reusable.

Method Details

create

public static PlainTextSerializer.Builder create()

Creates a new builder for this object.

Returns:

A new builder.

copy

public PlainTextSerializer.Builder copy()

Description copied from class: Context

Creates a builder from this context object.

Builders are used to define new contexts (e.g. serializers, parsers) based on existing configurations.

Overrides:

copy in class WriterSerializer

Returns:

A new Builder object.

createSession

public PlainTextSerializerSession.Builder createSession()

Description copied from class: Context

Overrides:

createSession in class WriterSerializer

Returns:

A new session builder.

getPlainTextBeanPropertyMeta

public PlainTextBeanPropertyMeta getPlainTextBeanPropertyMeta(BeanPropertyMeta bpm)

Description copied from interface: PlainTextMetaProvider

Returns the language-specific metadata on the specified bean property.

Specified by:

getPlainTextBeanPropertyMeta in interface PlainTextMetaProvider

Parameters:

bpm - The bean property to return the metadata on.

Returns:

The metadata.

getPlainTextClassMeta

public PlainTextClassMeta getPlainTextClassMeta(ClassMeta<?> cm)

Description copied from interface: PlainTextMetaProvider

Returns the language-specific metadata on the specified class.

Specified by:

getPlainTextClassMeta in interface PlainTextMetaProvider

Parameters:

cm - The class to return the metadata on.

Returns:

The metadata.

getSession

public PlainTextSerializerSession getSession()

Description copied from class: Context

Returns a session to use for this context.

Note that subclasses may opt to return a reusable non-modifiable session.

Overrides:
