Class BytesMarshallableSerializer

java.lang.Object

net.openhft.lang.io.serialization.BytesMarshallableSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ObjectSerializer

public class BytesMarshallableSerializer
extends Object
implements ObjectSerializer

An extension of built-in Java serialization, featuring special treatment of BytesMarshallable objects, compact String encoding and support of pluggable custom serializers for arbitrary classes.

BytesMarshallableSerializer could benefit if objects (either top-level serialized or nested fields) implement BytesMarshallable interface the same way as built-in serialization benefit if objects implement Externalizable (of cause, BytesMarshallableSerializer supports Externalizable too).

CharSequences, including Strings (either top-level serialized or nested fields) are serialized in UTF-8 encoding.

Custom per-class serializers are held by BytesMarshallerFactory, which could be passed via constructor or static factory create() method.

Description copied from interface: ObjectSerializer

Read an object

Specified by:

readSerializable in interface ObjectSerializer

Parameters:

bytes - to read

expectedClass - proved when writing, can be null

object - to populate, can be null

Returns:

object read.
