Class Serializer

java.lang.Object

net.dempsy.serialization.Serializer

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClassTracker, JavaSerializer, JsonSerializer, KryoSerializer

public abstract class Serializer
extends Object

In order to support pluggable serialization, Dempsy (the container and the distributor) can be configured with a serialization scheme. Note, the serialize call is used on the output side and the deserialize is used on the input side but this interface defines them both right now to make it easy to plug in different implementations without managing many objects.

The implementation should be thread safe.
