Class NullConverter

java.lang.Object

com.owlike.genson.convert.NullConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter<Object>, Deserializer<Object>, Serializer<Object>

public class NullConverter
extends Object
implements Converter<Object>

The default implementation handles null values by returning null during deserialization and calling writer.writeNull() during serialization. You can also change the way null values are handled by registering your own Null Converter Genson.Builder.setNullConverter(org.genson.convert.Converter).
