Method Detail

canSerialize

boolean canSerialize(String parameterizedType)

Verify if the given parameterized type can be serialized.

Parameters:

parameterizedType - the parameterized type.

Returns:

true if parameterizedType can be serialized, otherwise false.

serialize

<T> String serialize(T object,
                   String parameterizedType)

Serializes the object as a type represented by parameterizedType.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the object.

Parameters:

object - the object to serialized.

parameterizedType - the parameterized type of the object to serialize.

Returns:

the serialized object as a String.

canDeserialize

boolean canDeserialize(String parameterizedType)

Verify if the given parameterized type can be deserialized.

Parameters:

parameterizedType - the parameterized type.

Returns:

true if parameterizedType can be deserialized, otherwise false.

deserialize

<T> T deserialize(String serializedObject,
                String parameterizedType)

Deserializes the object to the type represented by parameterizedType.

Type Parameters:

T - the return type.

Parameters:

serializedObject - the String representing the serialized object.

parameterizedType - the parameterized type of the expected return type.

Returns:

The deserialized object of type T.
