ToStringSerializer (Jackson JSON Processor)

java.lang.Object
- org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonSerializer<T>
- - org.codehaus.jackson.map.ser.std.SerializerBase<java.lang.Object>
  - - org.codehaus.jackson.map.ser.std.ToStringSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

SchemaAware

Direct Known Subclasses:

ToStringSerializer
```
public class ToStringSerializer
extends SerializerBase<java.lang.Object>
```
Simple general purpose serializer, useful for any type for which Object.toString() returns the desired JSON value.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`JsonNode`	`getSchema(SerializerProvider provider, java.lang.reflect.Type typeHint)`	Note: since Jackson 1.9, default implementation claims type is "string"
`void`	`serialize(java.lang.Object value, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider)`	Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
`void`	`serializeWithType(java.lang.Object value, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider, TypeSerializer typeSer)`	Default implementation will write type prefix, call regular serialization method (since assumption is that value itself does not need JSON Array or Object start/end markers), and then write type suffix.

public void serialize(java.lang.Object value,
                      JsonGenerator jgen,
                      SerializerProvider provider)

                      JsonGenerationException
```
    Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
    
    Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
    
    Specified by:
    
    serialize in class SerializerBase<java.lang.Object>
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
    
    jgen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
    
    provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
    
    JsonGenerationException
  - serializeWithType
```
public void serializeWithType(java.lang.Object value,
                              JsonGenerator jgen,
                              SerializerProvider provider,
                              TypeSerializer typeSer)
                       throws java.io.IOException,
                              JsonGenerationException
```
    Default implementation will write type prefix, call regular serialization method (since assumption is that value itself does not need JSON Array or Object start/end markers), and then write type suffix. This should work for most cases; some sub-classes may want to change this behavior.
    
    Overrides:
    
    serializeWithType in class JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object>
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
    
    jgen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
    
    provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
    
    typeSer - Type serializer to use for including type information
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
    
    JsonGenerationException
  - getSchema
```
public JsonNode getSchema(SerializerProvider provider,
                          java.lang.reflect.Type typeHint)
                   throws JsonMappingException
```
    Description copied from class: SerializerBase
    
    Note: since Jackson 1.9, default implementation claims type is "string"
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSchema in interface SchemaAware
    
    Overrides:
    
    getSchema in class SerializerBase<java.lang.Object>
    
    Parameters:
    
    provider - The serializer provider.
    
    typeHint - A hint about the type.
    
    Returns:
    
    Json-schema for this serializer.
    
    Throws:
    
    JsonMappingException
