AbstractEncoding<T> class abstract

@fileoverview An abstract class for an encoder. Converts object to intermediate representation using serdes package, then allows subclass to encode to final format (such as XML or JSON). REMEMBER: API is asymmetric. We can encode the Dart object, but can't decode back to a Dart object, so client must help with final decode back to format.

Properties

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Methods

decode(T encodedPayload) → MarshalledObject

Asymmetric: It is necessary for the client to provide context to deserialize back to Object.

override

encode(MarshalledObject payload) → T

We provide all serialization from Object to T.

override

encodeDartObject(Object? dartObject) → T

Convenience to encode a Dart object

fromIntermediateToFormat(MarshalledObject intermediateFormat) → T

abstract method

getContentType() → String

abstract method: Provide MIME type

override

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
