Interface MessageSerializer<M>

  • public interface MessageSerializer<M>
    Serializes data to and from Gremlin Server. Typically, the object being serialized or deserialized will be an item from an Iterator as returned from the ScriptEngine or an incoming RequestMessage. MessageSerializer instances are instantiated to a cache via ServiceLoader and indexed based on the mime types they support. If a mime type is supported more than once, the first MessageSerializer instance loaded for that mime type is assigned. If a mime type is not found the server default is chosen. The default may change from version to version so it is best to not rely on it when developing applications and to always be explicit in specifying the type you wish to bind to.

      • mimeTypesSupported

        String[] mimeTypesSupported()
        The list of mime types that the serializer supports.

      • configure

        default void configure​(Map<String,​Object> config,
                       Map<String,​Graph> graphs)
        Configure the serializer with mapper settings as required. The default implementation does not perform any function and it is up to the interface implementation to determine how the configuration will be executed and what its requirements are. An implementation may choose to use the list of available graphs to help initialize a serializer. The implementation should account for the possibility of a null value being provided for that parameter.
