Method Detail

serializeback to summary
public JsonElement serialize(Object src)

Invokes default serialization on the specified object.

Parameters
src:Object

the object that needs to be serialized.

Returns:JsonElement

a tree of JsonElements corresponding to the serialized form of src.

serializeback to summary
public JsonElement serialize(Object src, Type typeOfSrc)

Invokes default serialization on the specified object passing the specific type information. It should never be invoked on the element received as a parameter of the JsonSerializer#serialize(Object, Type, JsonSerializationContext) method. Doing so will result in an infinite loop since Gson will in-turn call the custom serializer again.

Parameters
src:Object

the object that needs to be serialized.

typeOfSrc:Type

the actual genericized type of src object.

Returns:JsonElement

a tree of JsonElements corresponding to the serialized form of src.
