## Class BeanSerializerBase

- java.lang.Object
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer<T>
  - - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>
    - - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.BeanSerializerBase

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware, ContextualSerializer, ResolvableSerializer, java.io.Serializable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    BeanAsArraySerializer, BeanSerializer, UnwrappingBeanSerializer

      public abstract class BeanSerializerBase
      extends StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>
      implements ContextualSerializer, ResolvableSerializer, JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware

  Base class both for the standard bean serializer, and couple of variants that only differ in small details. Can be used for custom bean serializers as well, although that is not the primary design goal.

      Description copied from interface: `ContextualSerializer`
      Method called to see if a different (or differently configured) serializer is needed to serialize values of specified property. Note that instance that this method is called on is typically shared one and as a result method should NOT modify this instance but rather construct and return a new instance. This instance should only be returned as-is, in case it is already suitable for use.
      Specified by:
        `createContextual` in interface `ContextualSerializer`
      Parameters:
        `provider` - Serializer provider to use for accessing config, other serializers
        `property` - Method or field that represents the property (and is used to access value to serialize). Should be available; but there may be cases where caller can not provide it and null is passed instead (in which case impls usually pass 'this' serializer as is)
      Returns:
        Serializer to use for serializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`

      Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
      Accessor for iterating over logical properties that the type handled by this serializer has, from serialization perspective. Actual type of properties, if any, will be `BeanPropertyWriter`. Of standard Jackson serializers, only `BeanSerializer` exposes properties.
      Overrides:
        `properties` in class `JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object>`

    - #### usesObjectId

          public boolean usesObjectId()

      Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
      Method that can be called to see whether this serializer instance will use Object Id to handle cyclic references.
      Overrides:
        `usesObjectId` in class `JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object>`

                                  throws java.io.IOException

      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 `StdSerializer<java.lang.Object>`
      Parameters:
        `bean` - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        `gen` - Generator used to output resulting Json content
        `provider` - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
      Throws:

    - #### serializeWithType

          public void serializeWithType(java.lang.Object bean,

                               SerializerProvider provider,
                               TypeSerializer typeSer)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
      Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.

      Default implementation will throw `UnsupportedOperationException` to indicate that proper type handling needs to be implemented.

      For simple datatypes written as a single scalar value (JSON String, Number, Boolean), implementation would look like:

            // note: method to call depends on whether this type is serialized as JSON scalar, object or Array!
            typeSer.writeTypePrefixForScalar(value, gen);
            serialize(value, gen, provider);
            typeSer.writeTypeSuffixForScalar(value, gen);

      and implementations for type serialized as JSON Arrays or Objects would differ slightly, as `START-ARRAY`/`END-ARRAY` and `START-OBJECT`/`END-OBJECT` pairs need to be properly handled with respect to serializing of contents.
      Overrides:
        `serializeWithType` in class `JsonSerializer<java.lang.Object>`
      Parameters:
        `bean` - Value to serialize; can not be null.
        `gen` - 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`
