Class TypeSerializerAdapter<T>

Adapter that wraps a strongly-typed ITypeSerializer<T> as the non-generic ITypeSerializer interface, enabling it to be stored and invoked through the engine's runtime type-keyed registry without requiring generic type arguments at the call site.

Syntax
public sealed class TypeSerializerAdapter<T> : ITypeSerializer
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

The type that the wrapped ITypeSerializer<T> handles. Used to implement TargetType as typeof(T) and to cast the object argument in WriteObject(object, IScyllaWriter, ISerializationContext) before forwarding to the inner serializer.
Remarks

TypeSerializerAdapter<T> instances are created automatically by RegisterSerializer<T>(ITypeSerializer<T>) and RegisterSerializer<T>(ITypeSerializer<T>). Application code does not need to instantiate this class directly.

The adapter simply forwards WriteObject(object, IScyllaWriter, ISerializationContext) and ReadObject(IScyllaReader, ISerializationContext) calls to Write(T, IScyllaWriter, ISerializationContext) and Read(IScyllaReader, ISerializationContext) respectively, performing the necessary cast between object and T.

Constructors

TypeSerializerAdapter(ITypeSerializer<T>)

Initializes a new TypeSerializerAdapter<T> that delegates all serialization and deserialization calls to the supplied typed serializer.

Declaration
public TypeSerializerAdapter(ITypeSerializer<T> innerSerializer)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ITypeSerializer<T> innerSerializer

The strongly-typed ITypeSerializer<T> to wrap. Must not be null.
Exceptions
Type Condition
ArgumentNullException

Thrown if innerSerializer is null.

Properties

TargetType

Gets the Type that this serializer is responsible for handling. The engine uses this value as the dictionary key when storing and retrieving serializers from its registry.

Declaration
public Type TargetType { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Type

The exact Type this serializer handles. For TypeSerializerAdapter<T>, this is always typeof(T).

Methods

ReadObject(IScyllaReader, ISerializationContext)

Reads and reconstructs a value from reader using this serializer's format-specific decoding. This is the non-generic counterpart of Read(IScyllaReader, ISerializationContext).

Declaration
public object ReadObject(IScyllaReader reader, ISerializationContext context)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IScyllaReader reader

The format-specific reader positioned at the beginning of the serialized value. Must not be null.
ISerializationContext context

The active serialization context providing settings, depth tracking, and reference tracking. Must not be null.
Returns
Type Description
object

The deserialized value as a boxed object. May return null if the serialized data represents a null reference. The caller is responsible for casting the return value to the expected type.
See Also

WriteObject(object, IScyllaWriter, ISerializationContext)

Writes the supplied value to writer using this serializer's format-specific encoding. This is the non-generic counterpart of Write(T, IScyllaWriter, ISerializationContext).

Declaration
public void WriteObject(object value, IScyllaWriter writer, ISerializationContext context)
Parameters
Type Name Description
object value

The object to serialize. May be null for reference types; the serializer implementation is responsible for emitting an appropriate null token in that case. When non-null the caller guarantees that the runtime type of value matches TargetType.
IScyllaWriter writer

The format-specific writer that receives the serialized output (e.g., a JSON or binary stream). Must not be null.
ISerializationContext context

The active serialization context, providing access to settings, depth tracking, and reference tracking for the ongoing operation. Must not be null.
