Namespace: Cassandra.Serialization
Assembly: Cassandra.dll
Syntax
public abstract class TypeSerializer<T> : TypeSerializerType Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| T | CLR type for this serializer |
Properties
CqlType
Returns the Cassandra data type for the serializer.
Declaration
public abstract ColumnTypeCode CqlType { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ColumnTypeCode |
Type
Gets the CLR type for this serializer.
Declaration
public Type Type { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Type |
TypeInfo
Gets the type information for which this serializer is valid.
Intended for non-primitive types such as custom types and UDTs.
For primitive types, it should return null.
Declaration
public virtual IColumnInfo TypeInfo { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| IColumnInfo |
Methods
Deserialize(ushort, byte[], int, int, IColumnInfo)
When overridden from a derived class, it reads the byte buffer and returns the CLR representation of the data type.
Declaration
public abstract T Deserialize(ushort protocolVersion, byte[] buffer, int offset, int length, IColumnInfo typeInfo)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ushort | protocolVersion | The Cassandra native protocol version. |
| byte[] | buffer | The byte array. |
| int | offset | The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin storing data from the current stream. |
| int | length | The maximum amount of bytes to read from buffer. |
| IColumnInfo | typeInfo | Additional type information designed for non-primitive types. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T |
Serialize(ushort, T)
When overridden from a derived class, it encodes the CLR object into the byte representation according to the Cassandra native protocol.
Declaration
public abstract byte[] Serialize(ushort protocolVersion, T value)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ushort | protocolVersion | The Cassandra native protocol version. |
| T | value | The object to encode. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| byte[] |
