NAME

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

VERSION

       version 0.11

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", <deserialize> and
       "loaded", and should define the "content_type" attribute value.

ATTRIBUTES

   error
       The error string in case the serializer is in error state.

   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

   has_error
       A predicate to check whether the serializer is in error state.

   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.

   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.

   loaded
       This method should return a boolean true value if the serializer is able to work. This method might
       verify the existence of some Perl module or some other detail. If everything needed for the serializer to
       work is present the method returns a true value. If not, returns a false value.
