Enum Constant Detail

DEFAULT

public static final LongSerializationPolicy DEFAULT

This is the "default" serialization policy that will output a long object as a JSON number. For example, assume an object has a long field named "f" then the serialized output would be: {"f":123}.

STRING

public static final LongSerializationPolicy STRING

Serializes a long value as a quoted string. For example, assume an object has a long field named "f" then the serialized output would be: {"f":"123"}.

Method Detail

values

public static LongSerializationPolicy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (LongSerializationPolicy c : LongSerializationPolicy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static LongSerializationPolicy valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

serialize

public abstract JsonElement serialize(Long value)

Serialize this value using this serialization policy.

Parameters:

value - the long value to be serialized into a JsonElement

Returns:

the serialized version of value
