public abstract Class BasicSerializerFactory

Helper method that will combine all available pieces of format configuration and calculate effective format settings to use.

Since

3.0

Helper method that does figures out content inclusion value to use, if any, and construct re-configured MapSerializer appropriately.

Helper method called to try to find whether there is an annotation in the class that indicates content ("value") serializer to use. If so, will try to instantiate value serializer and return it; otherwise returns null.

Helper method used for finding inclusion definitions for structured container types like Maps and referential types (like AtomicReference).

Parameters

contentType:JavaType

Declared full content type of container

configType:Class<?>

Raw base type under which `configOverride`, if any, needs to be defined

Helper method called to try to find whether there is an annotation in the class that indicates key serializer to use. If so, will try to instantiate key serializer and return it; otherwise returns null.

Helper method that handles configuration details when constructing serializers for Object[] (and subtypes, except for String).

Helper method that handles configuration details when constructing serializers for java.util.List types that support efficient by-index access

Helper method that handles configuration details when constructing serializers for java.util.Map types.

Helper method that will check whether given annotated entity (usually class, but may also be a property accessor) indicates that a Converter is to be used; and if so, to construct and return suitable serializer for it. If not, will simply return given serializer as is.

Method called to find filter that is configured to be used with bean serializer being built, if any.

Reflection-based serialized find method, which checks if given class implements one of recognized "add-on" interfaces. Add-on here means a role that is usually or can be a secondary trait: for example, bean classes may implement Iterable, but their main function is usually something else. The reason for

Method called to see if one of primary per-class annotations (or related, like implementing of JacksonSerializable) determines the serializer to use.

Currently handles things like:

• If type implements JacksonSerializable, use that
• If type has com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonValue annotation (or equivalent), build serializer based on that property

Method for checking if we can determine serializer to use based on set of known primary types, checking for set of known base types (exact matches having been compared against with findSerializerByLookup). This does not include "secondary" interfaces, but mostly concrete or abstract base classes.

Helper method called to check if a class or method has an annotation (@link tools.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize#using) that tells the class to use for serialization. Returns null if no such annotation found.

Annotations

@SuppressWarnings:unchecked

Helper method to check whether global settings and/or class annotations for the bean class indicate that static typing (declared types) should be used for properties. (instead of dynamic runtime types).

Method used for creating a new instance of this factory, but with different configuration. Reason for specifying factory method (instead of plain constructor) is to allow proper sub-classing of factories.

Note that custom sub-classes generally must override implementation of this method, as it usually requires instantiating a new instance of factory type. Check out javadocs for tools.jackson.databind.ser.BeanSerializerFactory for more details.
