Method Details

sizeWithPrefix

public final int sizeWithPrefix(T object)
                         throws SerializationException

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Compute the number of bytes needed to serialize an object of type T (including the byte(s) that indicate that an object of type T is next in the data stream).

Parameters:

object - Instance of the object

Returns:

the number of bytes needed to serialize an object of type T

Throws:

SerializationException - when the object cannot be serialized

serializeWithPrefix

public final void serializeWithPrefix(T object,
 byte[] buffer,
 Pointer pointer,
 Endianness endianness)
                               throws SerializationException

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Serialize an object of type T including the prefix byte(s).

Parameters:

object - the object to serialize

buffer - buffer for the serialized T

pointer - position in buffer where the first byte of the serialized T will be stored

endianness - selects bigEndian or littleEndian encoding

Throws:

SerializationException - when a matrix has size zero or is jagged

getNumberOfDimensions

public int getNumberOfDimensions()

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Return the number of dimensions of the stored data.

Returns:

0 for plain data, 1 for array, 2 for matrix
