Poco::RemotingNG

class Serializer

File Information

Library: RemotingNG
Package: Serialization
Header: Poco/RemotingNG/Serializer.h

Description

The Serializer interface for transports.

Implementations of the Serializer interface must handle serialization of various message types (request, response, events), as well as basic types. Serialization of complex types is implemented by providing specializations of the TypeSerializer class template.

Constructors

Serializer

Serializer();

Destructor

~Serializer virtual

virtual ~Serializer();

Destroys the Serializer.

Member Functions

pushAttribute virtual

virtual void pushAttribute(
    const std::string & attrNamespace,
    const std::string & attrName
);

For XML-based transports, this method allows for serialization of data either as element content (default) or attribute value.

The rule that serializers follow is to first call pushAttribute() for every variable to be serialized as attribute, then call serializeMessageBegin() or serializeStructBegin() for the element containing the attributes.

Example: The following code: 

ser.pushAttribute("", "attr1");
ser.pushAttribute("", "attr2");
ser.serializeStructBegin("complexType");
ser.serialize("attr1", "foo");
ser.serialize("attr2", "bar");
ser.serialize("variable", 42);
ser.serializeStructEnd("complexType");

will produce this XML fragment: 

<complexType attr1="foo" attr2="bar"><variable>42</variable>...</complexType>

Should be overridden by subclasses supporting attributes. The default implementation does nothing.

registerNamespace virtual

virtual void registerNamespace(
    const std::string & namespc
);

For XML-based transports, this method allows for registration of a namespace which will be used by multiple following elements. This allows the Serializer to generate a namespace prefix declaration on an outer element, preventing the Serializer from generating a prefix declaration on any element in a sequence.

serializeNullableBegin virtual

virtual void serializeNullableBegin(
    const std::string & name,
    bool isNull
) = 0;

Begin serialization of a Nullable or pointer which may be NULL.

If isNull is true, the call to serializeNullableBegin() must be immediately followed by a call to serializeNullableEnd().

serializeNullableEnd virtual

virtual void serializeNullableEnd(
    const std::string & name
) = 0;

End serialization of a Nullable or pointer which may be NULL.

serializeOptionalBegin virtual

virtual void serializeOptionalBegin(

The default implementation calls serializeNullableBegin().

serializeOptionalEnd virtual

virtual void serializeOptionalEnd(
    const std::string & name
);

End serialization of an Optional.

The default implementation calls serializeNullableEnd().

serializeSequenceBegin virtual

virtual void serializeSequenceBegin(

setup inline

void setup(
    std::ostream & ostr
);

Set up the Serializer for writing to the given output stream.

This must be called before any of the serialize*() methods.

setupImpl protected virtual

virtual void setupImpl(
    std::ostream & ostr
) = 0;

Set up the Serializer for writing to the given output stream.

It is guaranteed that reset was called prior to calling this method so the Serializer is in a clean state.
