App::Serializer - Interface for serialization and deserialization
use App; $context = App->context(); $serializer = $context->service("Serializer"); # or ... $serializer = $context->serializer(); $data = { an => 'arbitrary', collection => [ 'of', 'data', ], of => { arbitrary => 'depth', }, }; $serialized_data = $serializer->serialize($data); $data = $serializer->deserialize($serialized_data); print $serializer->dump($data), "\n";
A Serializer is a means by which a structure of data of arbitrary depth may be serialized or deserialized.
Serializers may be used for configuration files, data persistence, or transmission of data across a network.
Serializers include the ability to compress, encrypt, and/or MIME the serialized data. (These are all scalar-to-scalar transformations.)
The following classes might be a part of the Serializer Class Group.
Class: App::Serializer
Class: App::Serializer::Storable
Class: App::Serializer::XMLSimple
Class: App::Serializer::XML
Class: App::Serializer::Ini
Class: App::Serializer::Properties
A Serializer serves to serialize and deserialize perl data structures of arbitrary depth. The base class serializes the data as Perl code using Data::Dumper. (This behavior is overridden with customized serialization techniques by the derived subclasses.)
* Throws: App::Exception::Serializer * Since: 0.01
The class is entirely made up of static (class) methods. However, they are each intended to be called as methods on the instance itself.
The constructor is inherited from App::Service.
App::Service
* Signature: $serialized_data = $serializer->serialize($data); * Param: $data ref * Return: $serialized_data binary * Throws: App::Exception::Serializer * Since: 0.01 Sample Usage: $context = App->context(); $serializer = $context->service("Serializer"); # or ... $serializer = $context->serializer(); $data = { an => 'arbitrary', collection => [ 'of', 'data', ], of => { arbitrary => 'depth', }, }; $serialized_data = $serializer->serialize($data);
* Signature: $serialized_data = $serializer->deserialize($data); * Signature: $serialized_data = App::Serializer->deserialize($data); * Param: $data ref * Return: $serialized_data binary * Throws: App::Exception::Serializer * Since: 0.01 Sample Usage: $context = App->context(); $serializer = $context->service("Serializer"); # or ... $serializer = $context->serializer(); $data = $serializer->deserialize($serialized_data); print $serializer->dump($data), "\n";
* Signature: $serialized_content_type = $service->serialized_content_type(); * Param: void * Return: $serialized_content_type string * Throws: App::Exception * Since: 0.01 Sample Usage: $serialized_content_type = $service->serialized_content_type();
* Signature: $perl = $serializer->dump($data); * Param: $data ref * Return: $perl text * Throws: App::Exception::Serializer * Since: 0.01 Sample Usage: $context = App->context(); $serializer = $context->service("Serializer"); # or ... $serializer = $context->serializer(); $data = $serializer->deserialize($serialized_data); print $serializer->dump($data), "\n";
Returns 'Serializer';
* Signature: $service_type = App::Serializer->service_type(); * Param: void * Return: $service_type string * Since: 0.01 $service_type = $serializer->service_type();
