Interface SerDeserializerProvider

public interface SerDeserializerProvider

Provides access to deserializers.

This plugin point allows instances to SerDeserializer to be created. Implementations of this interface can introspect the bean type when choosing a deserializer. This allows deserializers to be provided that can handle multiple bean types, for example all beans in a particular package, any bean with a particular supertype or with a particular annotation.

In the simple case where an exact match is needed, the class implementing SerDeserializer can also implement SerDeserializerProvider with a singleton constant instance.
