All Implemented Interfaces:

org.simpleframework.xml.Serializer

public final class GlobalSerializer
extends org.simpleframework.xml.core.Persister

The global serializer does hold the global Persister instance of the Simple XML framework. It does provide static methods for serialization and deserialization purpose.

Parameters:

source - the source object to serialize

Returns:

the serialized object as string

Throws:

Exception - if the schema for the object is not valid

serializeToFile

public static void serializeToFile(Object source,
                                   File file)
                            throws Exception

Method to serialize an object into a file

Parameters:

source - the source object to serialize

file - the file to write serialized object into

Throws:

Exception - if the schema for the object is not valid

serializeToStream

                                     OutputStream os)
                              throws Exception

Method to serialize an object into an output stream

Parameters:

source - the source object to serialize

os - the output stream to write serialized object into

Throws:

Exception - if the schema for the object is not valid

serializeFromFile
