Serialization

Module serialization

This module holds serialization utilities.

Install the Dependency

This module is not meant to be used directly. You should include an Adapter implementing this feature (as serialization_dsl_json) in order to parse/serialize data.

build.gradlepom.xml

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

implementation("com.hexagonkt:serialization:$hexagonVersion")

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.hexagonkt</groupId>
  <artifactId>serialization</artifactId>

Serialization

The core module has utilities to serialize/parse data classes to JSON and YAML. Read the following snippet for details:

SerializationManager.formats = setOf(format) // Loads the serialization format
val jason = Person("Jason", "Jackson", LocalDate.of(1989, 12, 31))

val jasonJson = personToMap(jason).serialize(format)
val parsedJason = mapToPerson(jasonJson.parseMap(format))

assertEquals(parsedJason, jason)
assert(jason !== parsedJason)

Package com.hexagonkt.serialization

Parse/serialize data in different formats to class instances.
