org.cryptimeleon.math.serialization.Representation

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

BigIntegerRepresentation, ByteArrayRepresentation, ListRepresentation, MapRepresentation, ObjectRepresentation, RepresentableRepresentation, StringRepresentation

public abstract class Representation
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Represents an object serialized via our representation framework.

The general idea for serialization of objects here is to have a structured intermediate format, so that you can convert between Java object <-> Representation <-> Serialized format.

This conversion is done by a Converter class (the specific subclass depends on the chosen serialized format).

A Representation is a structured tree of (other) representations. This allows one to universally represent structured objects. Leaves are (boxed) primitives such as BigInteger, String, or byte[].
