deserialize

@Nullable
public ConfigurationSerializable deserialize(@NotNull
 Map<String,?> args)

deserializeObject

@Nullable
public static ConfigurationSerializable deserializeObject(@NotNull
 Map<String,?> args,
 @NotNull
 Class<? extends ConfigurationSerializable> clazz)

Attempts to deserialize the given arguments into a new instance of the given class.

The class must implement ConfigurationSerializable, including the extra methods as specified in the javadoc of ConfigurationSerializable.

If a new instance could not be made, an example being the class not fully implementing the interface, null will be returned.

Parameters:

args - Arguments for deserialization

clazz - Class to deserialize into

Returns:

New instance of the specified class

deserializeObject

@Nullable
public static ConfigurationSerializable deserializeObject(@NotNull
 Map<String,?> args)

Attempts to deserialize the given arguments into a new instance of the given class.

The class must implement ConfigurationSerializable, including the extra methods as specified in the javadoc of ConfigurationSerializable.

If a new instance could not be made, an example being the class not fully implementing the interface, null will be returned.

Parameters:

args - Arguments for deserialization

Returns:

New instance of the specified class

registerClass

public static void registerClass(@NotNull
 Class<? extends ConfigurationSerializable> clazz)

Registers the given ConfigurationSerializable class by its alias

Parameters:

clazz - Class to register

registerClass

public static void registerClass(@NotNull
 Class<? extends ConfigurationSerializable> clazz,
 @NotNull
 String alias)

Registers the given alias to the specified ConfigurationSerializable class

Parameters:

clazz - Class to register

alias - Alias to register as

SerializableAs

unregisterClass

public static void unregisterClass(@NotNull
 String alias)

Unregisters the specified alias to a ConfigurationSerializable

Parameters:

alias - Alias to unregister

unregisterClass

public static void unregisterClass(@NotNull
 Class<? extends ConfigurationSerializable> clazz)

Unregisters any aliases for the specified ConfigurationSerializable class

Parameters:

clazz - Class to unregister

getClassByAlias

@Nullable
public static Class<? extends ConfigurationSerializable> getClassByAlias(@NotNull
 String alias)

Attempts to get a registered ConfigurationSerializable class by its alias

Parameters:

alias - Alias of the serializable

Returns:

Registered class, or null if not found

getAlias

@NotNull
public static String getAlias(@NotNull
 Class<? extends ConfigurationSerializable> clazz)

Gets the correct alias for the given ConfigurationSerializable class

Parameters:

clazz - Class to get alias for
