Interface MessageSerializer

All Known Subinterfaces:

MessageTextSerializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractGraphSONMessageSerializerV1d0, AbstractGryoMessageSerializerV1d0, AbstractMessageSerializer, GraphSONMessageSerializerGremlinV1d0, GraphSONMessageSerializerV1d0, GryoLiteMessageSerializerV1d0, GryoMessageSerializerV1d0

public interface MessageSerializer

Serializes data to and from Gremlin Server. Typically the object being serialized or deserialized will be an item from an Iterator as returned from the ScriptEngine or an incoming RequestMessage. MessageSerializer instances are instantiated to a cache via ServiceLoader and indexed based on the mime types they support. If a mime type is supported more than once, the last MessageSerializer instance loaded for that mime type is assigned. If a mime type is not found the default GraphSONMessageSerializerV1d0 is used to return the results.

Method Detail

serializeResponseAsBinary

ByteBuf serializeResponseAsBinary(ResponseMessage responseMessage,
                                  ByteBufAllocator allocator)
                           throws SerializationException

Serialize a ResponseMessage to a Netty ByteBuf.

Parameters:

responseMessage - The response message to serialize to bytes.

allocator - The Netty allocator for the ByteBuf to return back.

Throws:

SerializationException

serializeRequestAsBinary

ByteBuf serializeRequestAsBinary(RequestMessage requestMessage,
                                 ByteBufAllocator allocator)
                          throws SerializationException

Serialize a ResponseMessage to a Netty ByteBuf.

Parameters:

requestMessage - The request message to serialize to bytes.

allocator - The Netty allocator for the ByteBuf to return back.

Throws:

SerializationException

deserializeRequest

RequestMessage deserializeRequest(ByteBuf msg)
                           throws SerializationException

Deserialize a Netty ByteBuf into a RequestMessage.

Throws:

SerializationException

deserializeResponse

ResponseMessage deserializeResponse(ByteBuf msg)
                             throws SerializationException

Deserialize a Netty ByteBuf into a ResponseMessage.

Throws:

SerializationException

mimeTypesSupported

String[] mimeTypesSupported()

The list of mime types that the serializer supports.

configure

default void configure(Map<String,Object> config,
                       Map<String,Graph> graphs)

Configure the serializer with mapper settings as required. The default implementation does not perform any function and it is up to the interface implementation to determine how the configuration will be executed and what its requirements are. An implementation may choose to use the list of available graphs to help initialize a serializer. The implementation should account for the possibility of a null value being provided for that parameter.
