Interface PropertySerializer

All Known Implementing Classes:
BindingResultSerializer, JavaBeanXmlSerializer, JSONStringPropertySerializer, TemporalPropertySerializer, TimeZonePropertySerializer
public interface PropertySerializer
API for special handling of data serialization, in place of simply calling String.valueOf().

This API is designed with implementations being thread-safe by default, so a single implementation can be instantiated once and used throughout an application.

      Object serialize(Object data, String propertyName, Object propertyValue)
      Serialize a property value.

      Parameters:
      data - the source data being serialized, i.e. a JavaBean
      propertyName - the name of the property being serialized
      propertyValue - the value of the property to serialize
      Returns:
      the serialized value of the property
