/**
* Abstract class that defines API used by {@link ObjectMapper} (and
* other chained {@link JsonSerializer}s too) to serialize Objects of
* arbitrary types into JSON, using provided {@link JsonGenerator}.
* {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.StdSerializer} instead
* of this class, since it will implement many of optional
* methods of this class.
*
* NOTE: various serialize methods are never (to be) called
* with null values -- caller must handle null values, usually
* by calling {@link SerializerProvider#findNullValueSerializer} to obtain
* serializer to use.
* This also means that custom serializers cannot be directly used to change
* the output to produce when serializing null values.
*
* If serializer is an aggregate one -- meaning it delegates handling of some
* of its contents by using other serializer(s) -- it typically also needs
* to implement {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ResolvableSerializer},
* which can locate secondary serializers needed. This is important to allow dynamic
* overrides of serializers; separate call interface is needed to separate
* resolution of secondary serializers (which may have cyclic link back
* to serializer itself, directly or indirectly).
*
* In addition, to support per-property annotations (to configure aspects
* of serialization on per-property basis), serializers may want
* to implement
* {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContextualSerializer},
* which allows specialization of serializers: call to
* {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContextualSerializer#createContextual}
* is passed information on property, and can create a newly configured
* serializer for handling that particular property.
*
* If both
* {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ResolvableSerializer} and
* {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.ContextualSerializer}
* are implemented, resolution of serializers occurs before
* contextualization.
