WritingSerializer

interface WritingSerializer<T> : Serializer<T>

A JVM-only Serializer that can also write directly to a Writer (e.g. a file or network stream), avoiding the need to first build the whole output as a String in memory. The String-returning serialize/serializeMany methods of Serializer are implemented in terms of the Writer-based ones, by writing into a StringWriter.

Type Parameters

T

the type of values this serializer can serialize.

Inheritors

abstract val mimeType: MimeType
