createContextualback to summary
public JsonSerializer<?> createContextual(SerializerProvider provider, BeanProperty property) throws JsonMappingException

Implements com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContextualSerializer.createContextual.

Doc from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContextualSerializer.createContextual.

Method called to see if a different (or differently configured) serializer is needed to serialize values of specified property. Note that instance that this method is called on is typically shared one and as a result method should NOT modify this instance but rather construct and return a new instance. This instance should only be returned as-is, in case it is already suitable for use.

Parameters
provider:SerializerProvider

Serializer provider to use for accessing config, other serializers

property:BeanProperty

Method or field that represents the property (and is used to access value to serialize). Should be available; but there may be cases where caller cannot provide it and null is passed instead (in which case impls usually pass 'this' serializer as is)

Returns:JsonSerializer<?>

Serializer to use for serializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.

@Override
getContentSerializerback to summary
public JsonSerializer<?> getContentSerializer()

Implements abstract com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContainerSerializer.getContentSerializer.

Doc from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContainerSerializer.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.

Annotations
@Override
getContentTypeback to summary
public JavaType getContentType()

Implements abstract com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContainerSerializer.getContentType.

Doc from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContainerSerializer.getContentType.

Accessor for finding declared (static) element type for type this serializer is used for.

Annotations
@Override
hasSingleElementback to summary
public boolean hasSingleElement(Map.Entry<?, ?> value)

Implements abstract com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContainerSerializer.hasSingleElement.

Doc from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContainerSerializer.hasSingleElement.

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.

Annotations
@Override
isEmptyback to summary
public boolean isEmpty(SerializerProvider prov, Map.Entry<?, ?> entry)

Overrides com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer.isEmpty.

Doc from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer.isEmpty.

Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).

Default implementation will consider only null values to be empty.

Note

replaces isEmpty(Object), which was deprecated in 2.5

Annotations
@Override
serializeback to summary
public void serialize(Map.Entry<?, ?> value, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider provider) throws IOException

Implements abstract com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.StdSerializer.serialize.

Doc from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer.serialize.

Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.

Parameters
value:Map.Entry<?, ?>

Value to serialize; can not be null.

gen:JsonGenerator

Generator used to output resulting Json content

provider:SerializerProvider

Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.

Annotations
@Override
serializeDynamicback to summary
protected void serializeDynamic(Map.Entry<?, ?> value, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider provider) throws IOException
serializeWithTypeback to summary
public void serializeWithType(Map.Entry<?, ?> value, JsonGenerator g, SerializerProvider provider, TypeSerializer typeSer) throws IOException

Overrides com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer.serializeWithType.

Doc from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer.serializeWithType.

Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.

Default implementation will throw UnsupportedOperationException to indicate that proper type handling needs to be implemented.

For simple datatypes written as a single scalar value (JSON String, Number, Boolean), implementation would look like:

  // note: method to call depends on whether this type is serialized as JSON scalar, object or Array!
  typeSer.writeTypePrefixForScalar(value, gen);
  serialize(value, gen, provider);
  typeSer.writeTypeSuffixForScalar(value, gen);
and implementations for type serialized as JSON Arrays or Objects would differ slightly, as START-ARRAY/END-ARRAY and START-OBJECT/END-OBJECT pairs need to be properly handled with respect to serializing of contents.
Parameters
value:Map.Entry<?, ?>

Value to serialize; can not be null.

g:JsonGenerator

Generator used to output resulting Json content

provider:SerializerProvider

Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.

typeSer:TypeSerializer

Type serializer to use for including type information
