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.

Method Detail

getMapper

M getMapper()

Gets the "mapper" that performs the underlying serialization work.

serializeResponseAsBinary

io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf serializeResponseAsBinary(ResponseMessage responseMessage,
                                                  io.netty.buffer.ByteBufAllocator allocator)
                                           throws SerializationException

Serialize a ResponseMessage to a Netty ByteBuf.

Parameters:

responseMessage - The response message to serialize to bytes.

allocator - The Netty allocator for the ByteBuf to return back.

Throws:

SerializationException

serializeRequestAsBinary

io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf serializeRequestAsBinary(RequestMessage requestMessage,
                                                 io.netty.buffer.ByteBufAllocator allocator)
                                          throws SerializationException

Serialize a ResponseMessage to a Netty ByteBuf.

Parameters:

requestMessage - The request message to serialize to bytes.

allocator - The Netty allocator for the ByteBuf to return back.

Throws:

SerializationException

deserializeRequest

RequestMessage deserializeRequest(io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf msg)
                           throws SerializationException

Deserialize a Netty ByteBuf into a RequestMessage.

Throws:

SerializationException

deserializeResponse

ResponseMessage deserializeResponse(io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf msg)
                             throws SerializationException

Deserialize a Netty ByteBuf into a ResponseMessage.

Throws:

SerializationException

mimeTypesSupported

String[] mimeTypesSupported()

The list of mime types that the serializer supports. They should be ordered in preferred ordered where the greatest fidelity match is first.

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.
