/**
 * Serialization information resolvers cooperate with {@link SerializationEngine} implementations
 * by providing meta information about serialized/deserialized type for them.
 * They also should be able to actualize serialization information object with information about child field.
 * Type of serialization information object is determined by the serialization engine cooperating with this
 * serialization resolver implementation.
 * Serialization resolvers must provide functionality of processing
 * {@link pl.bristleback.server.bristle.message.ConditionObjectSender} fields and initializing
 * {@link SerializationBundle} object.
