Method Detail

addTypeAdapter

public <T> Transformer.Builder addTypeAdapter(java.lang.reflect.Type type,
                                              TypeAdapter<T> adapter)

Adds a custom TypeAdapter to the Transformer

Type Parameters:

T - The concrete java representation of the data type

Parameters:

type - The data type that this adapter can work with

adapter - The TypeAdapter to be added to the Transformer

Returns:

A reference to the Transformer.Builder object

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - on null arguments

addTypeAdapterFactory

public Transformer.Builder addTypeAdapterFactory(TypeAdapterFactory adapterFactory)

Adds a custom TypeAdapterFactory to the Transformer

Parameters:

adapterFactory - The TypeAdapterFactory to be added to the Transformer

Returns:

A reference ot the Transformer.Builder object

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - on null arguments

addTypeAlias

public Transformer.Builder addTypeAlias(java.lang.reflect.Type target,
                                        java.lang.reflect.Type alias)

The call binds the target type to be serialized/deserialized as another alias type. This can be useful for binding interface types to their implementations.

Parameters:

target - the target type

alias - the alias type

Returns:

A reference to the Transformer.Builder object

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - on null arguments

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the same type is supplied for both target and alias

build

public Transformer build()

Builds the Transformer object with all the custom TypeAdapter and TypeAdapterFactory objects added to the Transformer.Builder

Returns:

A new instance of the Transformer object
