All Implemented Interfaces:
  SchemaAware

Enclosing class:
  StdArraySerializers

    public static final class StdArraySerializers.ByteArraySerializer

extends StdSerializer<byte[]>

Unlike other integral number array serializers, we do not just print out byte values as numbers. Instead, we assume that it would make more sense to output content as base64 encoded bytes (using default base64 encoding).

NOTE: since it is NOT serialized as an array, can not use AsArraySerializer as base

Method Summary
`JsonNode` `getSchema(SerializerProvider provider, Type typeHint)` Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.
`boolean` `isEmpty(byte[] value)` Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).
`void` `serialize(byte[] value, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider)` Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
`void` `serializeWithType(byte[] value, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider, TypeSerializer typeSer)` Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.

Constructor Detail

### StdArraySerializers.ByteArraySerializer

    public StdArraySerializers.ByteArraySerializer()

Method Detail

### isEmpty

    public boolean isEmpty(byte[] value)

  Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
  Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).

  Default implementation will consider only null values to be empty.

  Overrides:
    `isEmpty` in class `JsonSerializer<byte[]>`

### serialize

    public void serialize(byte[] value,
                          com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen,
                          SerializerProvider provider)
                   throws IOException,
                          com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException

  Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
  Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.

  Specified by:
    `serialize` in class `StdSerializer<byte[]>`
  Parameters:
    `value` - Value to serialize; can not be null.
    `jgen` - Generator used to output resulting Json content
    `provider` - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
  Throws:
    `IOException`
    `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException`

### serializeWithType

    public void serializeWithType(byte[] value,
                                  com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen,
                                  SerializerProvider provider,
                                  TypeSerializer typeSer)
                           throws IOException,
                                  com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException

  Description copied from class: `JsonSerializer`
  Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.

  Default implementation will ignore serialization of type information, and just calls `JsonSerializer.serialize(T, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider)`: serializers that can embed type information should override this to implement actual handling. Most common such handling is done by something like:

        // note: method to call depends on whether this type is serialized as JSON scalar, object or Array!
        typeSer.writeTypePrefixForScalar(value, jgen);
        serialize(value, jgen, provider);
        typeSer.writeTypeSuffixForScalar(value, jgen);

  Overrides:
    `serializeWithType` in class `JsonSerializer<byte[]>`
  Parameters:
    `value` - Value to serialize; can not be null.
    `jgen` - Generator used to output resulting Json content
    `provider` - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
    `typeSer` - Type serializer to use for including type information
  Throws:
    `IOException`
    `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException`

### getSchema

    public JsonNode getSchema(SerializerProvider provider,
                              Type typeHint)

  Description copied from class: `StdSerializer`
  Default implementation simply claims type is "string"; usually overriden by custom serializers.

  Specified by:
    `getSchema` in interface `SchemaAware`
  Overrides:
    `getSchema` in class `StdSerializer<byte[]>`
  Parameters:
    `provider` - The serializer provider.
    `typeHint` - A hint about the type.
  Returns:
    Json-schema for this serializer.
