Access	Constructor and Description
protected	ContainerSerializer(Class<T> t)
protected	ContainerSerializer(JavaType fullType)
protected	ContainerSerializer(Class<?> t, boolean dummy) Alternate constructor that is (alas!) needed to work around kinks of generic type handling
protected	ContainerSerializer(ContainerSerializer<?> src) References Deprecated `ContainerSerializer` is deprecated or references (maybe indirectly) at least one deprecated element.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
protected abstract ContainerSerializer<?>	_withValueTypeSerializer(TypeSerializer vts) References Deprecated `ContainerSerializer` is deprecated or references (maybe indirectly) at least one deprecated element. Method that needs to be implemented to allow construction of a new serializer object with given `TypeSerializer`, used when addition type information is to be embedded.
public abstract JsonSerializer<?>	getContentSerializer() Accessor for serializer used for serializing contents (List and array elements, Map values etc) of the container for which this serializer is used, if it is known statically.
public abstract JavaType	getContentType() Accessor for finding declared (static) element type for type this serializer is used for.
protected boolean	hasContentTypeAnnotation(SerializerProvider provider, BeanProperty property) Deprecated Since 2.7: should not be needed; should be enough to see if type has 'isStatic' modifier Helper method used to encapsulate logic for determining whether there is a property annotation that overrides element type; if so, we can and need to statically find the serializer.
public abstract boolean	hasSingleElement(T value) Method called to determine if the given value (of type handled by this serializer) contains exactly one element.
public ContainerSerializer<?>	Returns: Serializer instance that uses given type serializer for values if that is possible (or if not, just 'this' serializer) withValueTypeSerializer(TypeSerializer Type serializer to use for contained values; can be null, in which case 'this' serializer is returned as is vts) References Deprecated `ContainerSerializer` is deprecated or references (maybe indirectly) at least one deprecated element. Factory(-like) method that can be used to construct a new container serializer that uses specified `TypeSerializer` for decorating contained values with additional type information.

getContentSerializer back to summary

getContentSerializer	back to summary
public abstract JsonSerializer<?> getContentSerializer() Accessor for serializer used for serializing contents (List and array elements, Map values etc) of the container for which this serializer is used, if it is known statically. Note that for dynamic types this may return null; if so, caller has to instead use `getContentType()` and `com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider#findContentValueSerializer`.

public abstract JsonSerializer<?> getContentSerializer()

Accessor for serializer used for serializing contents (List and array elements, Map values etc) of the container for which this serializer is used, if it is known statically. Note that for dynamic types this may return null; if so, caller has to instead use getContentType() and com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider#findContentValueSerializer.

getContentType	back to summary
public abstract JavaType getContentType() Accessor for finding declared (static) element type for type this serializer is used for.

hasSingleElement back to summary

hasSingleElement	back to summary
public abstract boolean hasSingleElement(T value) Method called to determine if the given value (of type handled by this serializer) contains exactly one element. Note although it might seem sensible to instead define something like "getElementCount()" method, this would not work well for containers that do not keep track of size (like linked lists may not). Note, too, that as of now (2.9) this method is only called by serializer itself; and specifically is not used for non-array/collection types like `Map` or `Map.Entry` instances.

public abstract boolean hasSingleElement(T value)

Method called to determine if the given value (of type handled by this serializer) contains exactly one element.

Note
