/**
 * 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. */ public abstract class JsonSerializer implements JsonFormatVisitable // since 2.1 { /* /********************************************************** /* Fluent factory methods for constructing decorated versions /********************************************************** */ /** * Method that will return serializer instance that produces * "unwrapped" serialization, if applicable for type being * serialized (which is the case for some serializers * that produce JSON Objects as output). * If no unwrapped serializer can be constructed, will simply * return serializer as-is. *
