Class SerializerCache

    java.lang.Object
      com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.SerializerCache

    public final class SerializerCache

extends Object

Simple cache object that allows for doing 2-level lookups: first level is by "local" read-only lookup Map (used without locking) and second backup level is by a shared modifiable HashMap. The idea is that after a while, most serializers are found from the local Map (to optimize performance, reduce lock contention), but that during buildup we can use a shared map to reduce both number of distinct read-only maps constructed, and number of serializers constructed.

Since version 1.5 cache will actually contain three kinds of entries, based on combination of class pair key. First class in key is for the type to serialize, and second one is type used for determining how to resolve value type. One (but not both) of entries can be null.

Nested Class Summary
`static class` `SerializerCache.TypeKey` Key that offers two "modes"; one with raw class, as used for cases were raw class type is available (for example, when using runtime type); and one with full generics-including.

Constructor Detail

### SerializerCache

    public SerializerCache()

Method Detail

### getReadOnlyLookupMap

    public ReadOnlyClassToSerializerMap getReadOnlyLookupMap()

  Method that can be called to get a read-only instance populated from the most recent version of the shared lookup Map.

### size

    public int size()

### untypedValueSerializer

    public JsonSerializer<Object> untypedValueSerializer(Class<?> type)

  Method that checks if the shared (and hence, synchronized) lookup Map might have untyped serializer for given type.

### untypedValueSerializer

    public JsonSerializer<Object> untypedValueSerializer(JavaType type)

### typedValueSerializer

    public JsonSerializer<Object> typedValueSerializer(JavaType type)

### typedValueSerializer

    public JsonSerializer<Object> typedValueSerializer(Class<?> cls)

### addTypedSerializer

    public void addTypedSerializer(JavaType type,
                                   JsonSerializer<Object> ser)

  Method called if none of lookups succeeded, and caller had to construct a serializer. If so, we will update the shared lookup map so that it can be resolved via it next time.

### addTypedSerializer

    public void addTypedSerializer(Class<?> cls,
                                   JsonSerializer<Object> ser)

### addAndResolveNonTypedSerializer

    public void addAndResolveNonTypedSerializer(Class<?> type,
                                                JsonSerializer<Object> ser,
                                                SerializerProvider provider)
                                         throws JsonMappingException

  Throws:
    `JsonMappingException`

### addAndResolveNonTypedSerializer

    public void addAndResolveNonTypedSerializer(JavaType type,
                                                JsonSerializer<Object> ser,
                                                SerializerProvider provider)
                                         throws JsonMappingException

  Throws:
    `JsonMappingException`

### flush

    public void flush()

  Method called by StdSerializerProvider#flushCachedSerializers() to clear all cached serializers
