## Class TokenBufferSerializer

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

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    JsonFormatVisitable, SchemaAware, java.io.Serializable

      public class TokenBufferSerializer
      extends StdSerializer<TokenBuffer>

  We also want to directly support serialization of `TokenBuffer`; and since it is part of core package, it can not implement `JsonSerializable` (which is only included in the mapper package)

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor, JavaType typeHint)` Default implementation specifies no format.
    `JsonNode` | `getSchema(SerializerProvider provider, java.lang.reflect.Type typeHint)` Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.
    `void` | `serialize(TokenBuffer value, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider)` Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
    `void` | `serializeWithType(TokenBuffer value, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider, TypeSerializer typeSer)` Implementing typed output for contents of a TokenBuffer is very tricky, since we do not know for sure what its contents might look like (or, rather, we do know when serializing, but not necessarily when deserializing!) One possibility would be to check the current token, and use that to determine if we would output JSON Array, Object or scalar value.

    - #### serialize

          public void serialize(TokenBuffer value,
                       com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen,
                       SerializerProvider provider)
                         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<TokenBuffer>`
      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`

    - #### serializeWithType

          public final void serializeWithType(TokenBuffer value,
                               com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen,
                               SerializerProvider provider,
                               TypeSerializer typeSer)
                                       throws java.io.IOException

      Implementing typed output for contents of a TokenBuffer is very tricky, since we do not know for sure what its contents might look like (or, rather, we do know when serializing, but not necessarily when deserializing!) One possibility would be to check the current token, and use that to determine if we would output JSON Array, Object or scalar value.

      Note that we just claim it is scalar; this should work ok and is simpler than doing introspection on both serialization and deserialization.

      Overrides:
        `serializeWithType` in class `JsonSerializer<TokenBuffer>`
      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`

    - #### getSchema

          public JsonNode getSchema(SerializerProvider provider,
                           java.lang.reflect.Type typeHint)

      Description copied from class: `StdSerializer`
      Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.
      Specified by:
        `getSchema` in interface `SchemaAware`
      Overrides:
        `getSchema` in class `StdSerializer<TokenBuffer>`
      Parameters:
        `provider` - The serializer provider.
        `typeHint` - A hint about the type.
      Returns:
        Json-schema for this serializer.

    - #### acceptJsonFormatVisitor

          public void acceptJsonFormatVisitor(JsonFormatVisitorWrapper visitor,
                                     JavaType typeHint)
                                       throws JsonMappingException

      Description copied from class: `StdSerializer`
      Default implementation specifies no format. This behavior is usually overriden by custom serializers.
      Specified by:
        `acceptJsonFormatVisitor` in interface `JsonFormatVisitable`
      Overrides:
        `acceptJsonFormatVisitor` in class `StdSerializer<TokenBuffer>`
        `typeHint` - Type of element (entity like property) being visited
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`
