/**
* Provides useful {@link Visitor} and {@link VisitorFactory} implementations
* for use with a {@link LegacyJavaScriptWriter}.
*
* As an example, imagine you want the application to render {@code User}
* objects in JSON like so:
*
*
* {
* "id": <the user's unique id>,
* "email": <the user's email address>
* }
*
*
* The object responsible for translating {@code User}s to that structure is
* a {@code VisitorFactory}. Here are a few different ways of creating
* that visitor factory:
*
*
* -
* Using a reflection-based approach. This works when all of the properties
* in the output exist as getter fields on the User class.
*
* VisitorFactory<User> userVisitors = Visitors.forClass(
* User.class,
* "id", "getId",
* "email", "getUserEmail");
*
*
* -
* Using the Visitors.map method. This is more flexible than the
* reflection-based approach because not every property must exist as a
* getter field on the User class. It also avoids having method names
* as strings in your code.
*
* VisitorFactory<User> userVisitors = new VisitorFactory<User>() {
* public Visitor visitor(User user)
* {
* return Visitors.map(
* "id", user.getId(),
* "email", user.getUserEmail());
* }
* };
*
*
* -
* Converting the users into one of the standard collection types--map,
* array, list, etc.--and using the predefined visitor factory for that
* collection type. (In this particular case, the Visitors.map approach
* would be less verbose and more efficient.)
*
* VisitorFactory<User> userVisitors = new VisitorFactory<User>() {
* public Visitor visitor(User user)
* {
* Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
* map.put("id", user.getId());
* map.put("email", user.getUserEmail());
* return Visitors.forMaps().visitor(map);
* }
* };
*
*
