public abstract class ObjectCodec extends TreeCodec implements Versioned
Abstract class that defines the interface that JsonParser and JsonGenerator use to serialize and deserialize regular Java objects (POJOs aka Beans).

The standard implementation of this class is edu.internet2.middleware.grouperClientExt.com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper, defined in the "jackson-databind".

    • version

      public abstract Version version()
      Description copied from interface: Versioned
      Method called to detect version of the component that implements this interface; returned version should never be null, but may return specific "not available" instance (see Version for details).
      Specified by:
      version in interface Versioned
      Returns:
      Version of the component

    • readValue

      public abstract <T> T readValue(JsonParser p, Class<T> valueType) throws IOException
      Method to deserialize JSON content into a non-container type (it can be an array type, however): typically a bean, array or a wrapper type (like Boolean).

      Note: this method should NOT be used if the result type is a container (Collection or Map. The reason is that due to type erasure, key and value types can not be introspected when using this method.

      Type Parameters:
      T - Nominal parameter for target type
      Parameters:
      p - Parser to use for decoding content to bind
      valueType - Java value type to bind content to
      Returns:
      Value deserialized
      Throws:
      IOException - for low-level read issues, or JsonParseException for decoding problems

    • readValue

      public abstract <T> T readValue(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef) throws IOException
      Method to deserialize JSON content into a Java type, reference to which is passed as argument. Type is passed using so-called "super type token" and specifically needs to be used if the root type is a parameterized (generic) container type.
      Type Parameters:
      T - Nominal parameter for target type
      Parameters:
      p - Parser to use for decoding content to bind
      valueTypeRef - Java value type to bind content to
      Returns:
      Value deserialized
      Throws:
      IOException - for low-level read issues, or JsonParseException for decoding problems

    • readValue

      public abstract <T> T readValue(JsonParser p, ResolvedType valueType) throws IOException
      Method to deserialize JSON content into a POJO, type specified with fully resolved type object (so it can be a generic type, including containers like Collection and Map).
      Type Parameters:
      T - Nominal parameter for target type
      Parameters:
      p - Parser to use for decoding content to bind
      valueType - Java value type to bind content to
      Returns:
      Value deserialized
      Throws:
      IOException - for low-level read issues, or JsonParseException for decoding problems

      Returns:
      Iterator for incrementally deserializing values
      Throws:
