NAME

       Dancer2::Core::Role::Serializer - Role for Serializer engines

VERSION

       version 0.205002

DESCRIPTION

       Any class that consumes this role will be able to be used as a serializer under Dancer2.

       In order to implement this role, the consumer must implement the methods "serialize" and "deserialize",
       and should define the "content_type" attribute value.

ATTRIBUTES

   content_type
       The content type of the object after being serialized. For example, a JSON serializer would have a
       application/json content type defined.

METHODS

   serialize($content, [\%options])
       The serialize method need to be implemented by the consumer. It receives the serializer class object and
       a reference to the object to be serialized. Should return the object after being serialized, in the
       content type defined by the "content_type" attribute.

       A third optional argument is a hash reference of options to the serializer.

       The serialize method must return bytes and therefore has to handle any encoding.

   deserialize($content, [\%options])
       The inverse method of "serialize". Receives the serializer class object and a string that should be
       deserialized. The method should return a reference to the deserialized Perl data structure.

       A third optional argument is a hash reference of options to the serializer.

       The deserialize method receives encoded bytes and must therefore handle any decoding required.
