MapperSerializer

open class MapperSerializer<I, O>(base: KSerializer, serialize: (O) -> I, deserialize: (I) -> O) : KSerializer<O>

Use this serializer when you have serializable type I and want to map it to some O in process of serialization/deserialization

base

Serializer for I

serialize

Will be used in serialize method to convert incoming O to I and serialize with base

deserialize

Will be used in deserialize method to convert deserialized by base to O

Constructors

constructor(base: KSerializer, serialize: (O) -> I, deserialize: (I) -> O)

open override fun deserialize(decoder: Decoder): O

inline fun DeserializationStrategy.mapDeserialization(noinline deserialize: (I) -> O): MapperDeserializationStrategy<I, O>

Will create MapperDeserializationStrategy to allow you to map I to O using deserialize lambda during deserialization process

inline fun KSerializer.mapFullSerialization(noinline serialize: (O) -> I, noinline deserialize: (I) -> O): MapperSerializer<I, O>

Will create MapperSerializer to allow you to map O to I and vice verse using serialize/deserialize lambda during serialization/deserialization process

inline fun SerializationStrategy.mapSerialization(noinline serialize: (O) -> I): MapperSerializationStrategy<I, O>

Will create MapperSerializationStrategy to allow you to map O to I using serialize lambda during serialization process

open override fun serialize(encoder: Encoder, value: O)

open override val descriptor: SerialDescriptor
