public Interface Serializer

Known Direct Implementers: com.google.auto.value.extension.serializable.serializer.impl.IdentitySerializerFactory.IdentitySerializer, com.google.auto.value.extension.serializable.serializer.impl.ImmutableListSerializerExtension.ImmutableListSerializer, com.google.auto.value.extension.serializable.serializer.impl.ImmutableMapSerializerExtension.ImmutableMapSerializer, com.google.auto.value.extension.serializable.serializer.impl.OptionalSerializerExtension.OptionalSerializer
Imports: com.squareup.javapoet.CodeBlock, javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror

A Serializer, at compile time, generates code to map an unserializable type to a serializable type. It also generates the reverse code to re-create the original type.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public CodeBlock	fromProxy(CodeBlock expression) Creates an expression that converts the proxy type back to the original type.
public default boolean	isIdentity() Returns true if this is an identity `Serializer`.
public javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror	proxyFieldType() The proxy type the original unserializable type will be mapped to.
public CodeBlock	toProxy(CodeBlock expression) Creates an expression that converts the original type to the proxy type.
