Package com.hazelcast.nio.serialization

Contains interfaces/classes related to serialization; such as serializer interfaces, input/output streams.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ByteArraySerializer<T>	For sample usage custom serialization and other way of custom serialization see StreamSerializer.
ClassDefinition	ClassDefinition defines a class schema for Portable classes.
Data	Data is basic unit of serialization.
DataSerializable	DataSerializable is a serialization method alternative to standard Java serialization.
DataSerializableFactory	DataSerializableFactory is used to create IdentifiedDataSerializable instances during de-serialization.
FieldDefinition	FieldDefinition defines name, type, index of a field
IdentifiedDataSerializable	IdentifiedDataSerializable is an extension to DataSerializable to avoid reflection during de-serialization.
Portable	Portable provides an alternative serialization method.
PortableFactory	PortableFactory is used to create Portable instances during de-serialization.
PortableReader	Provides a mean of reading portable fields from a binary in form of java primitives arrays of java primitives, nested portable fields and array of portable fields.
PortableWriter	Provides a mean of writing portable fields to a binary in form of java primitives arrays of java primitives, nested portable fields and array of portable fields.
Serializer	Base interface of custom serialization interfaces see ByteArraySerializer see StreamSerializer
SerializerHook<T>	This interface is used to automatically register serializers from external Hazelcast or user modules. Both types of Serializers are supported (StreamSerializer and ByteArraySerializer).
StreamSerializer<T>	A base class for custom serialization.
TypedByteArrayDeserializer<T>	This interface allows deserialization of a binary data with a provided class type.
TypedDataSerializable	This interface adds the possibility for the class to act as if it is another class when being deserialized using DataSerializable
TypedStreamDeserializer<T>	This interface allows deserialization of a binary data with a provided class type.
VersionedPortable	VersionedPortable is an extension to Portable to support per class version instead of a global serialization version.

Class Summary

Class	Description
ClassDefinitionBuilder	ClassDefinitionBuilder is used to build and register ClassDefinitions manually.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
DataType	Defines type of the Data: heap or native.
FieldType
SerializableByConvention.Reason

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
HazelcastSerializationException	This is an exception thrown when an exception occurs while serializing/deserializing objects.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
BinaryInterface	Indicates that the binary serialized form of the annotated class is used in client-member communication over Hazelcast Open Binary Client Protocol or in other ways which may break Hazelcast or other systems.
SerializableByConvention	Indicates that the annotated class cannot be converted to IdentifiedDataSerializable due to other conventions.
