Method Detail

serialize

public String serialize(Short value,
                        String unit)

Serialize a value to text in such a way that it can be deserialized with the corresponding deserializer. Note that null values for value are allowed. A null values stands for an empty column value in a CVS-file, a missing tag in an XML-file, etc.

Specified by:

serialize in interface TextSerializer<Short>

Parameters:

value - T; the value to serialize, may be null

unit - String; the unit used to convert the data to and store, so all valus in a column may have the same unit. The value may be null or blank

Returns:

String; a string representation of the value that can later be deserialized, or nullto denote a missing value

deserialize

public Short deserialize(Class<Short> type,
                         String text,
                         String unit)

Deserialize a value from text that has been created with the corresponding serializer. Note that null values for text are allowed. A null values stands for an empty column value in a CVS-file, a missing tag in an XML-file, etc. In this way, we can explicitly show values that were not specified in the file. Also, the type may be null; this is, for instance, the case for any TextSerializer implementing SpecificTextSerializer, where no class needs to be provided (although it can).

Specified by:

deserialize in interface TextSerializer<Short>

Parameters:

type - Class<T>; class of the value type, may be null

text - String; the string to deserialize, may be null or blank

unit - String; unit with the value, may be null or blank

Returns:

T; an instance of the object created with the corresponding serializer, may be null when a value was not specified in the source from which the deserializer was called
