Method Detail

createRule

SerializationRule createRule(TAnnotation annotation,
                             Class<?> type)

Create a rule from an annotation.

addRules

static List<SerializationRule> addRules(SerializationClass type,
                                        List<SerializationRule> rules)

Search for annotations on the given type, and try to convert them into serialization rules.

addRules

static List<SerializationRule> addRules(Class<?> clazz,
                                        List<SerializationRule> rules)

Search for annotations on the given type, and try to convert them into serialization rules.

processAnnotations

static void processAnnotations(Class<?> clazz,
                               List<SerializationRule> newRules,
                               List<SerializationRule> rules)

Convert annotations into rules.

getAnnotationToRules

static List<TypeAnnotationToRule<?>> getAnnotationToRules(Annotation a)

Search for implementations to convert the given annotation into a rule. It looks first on the annotation class if there is an inner class implementing AttributeAnnotationToRuleOnAttribute. If none is found, it looks into the registry.
