Known Indirect Subclasses

AbstractSerializer<T>, AnnotatedCompositeSerializer<T>, AsciiSerializer, BigIntegerSerializer, BooleanSerializer, ByteBufferSerializer, BytesArraySerializer, CharSerializer, CompositeSerializer, DateSerializer, DoubleSerializer, DynamicCompositeSerializer, FloatSerializer, IntegerSerializer, JaxbSerializer, and 9 others.

AbstractSerializer<T>	A base class for serializer implementations.
AnnotatedCompositeSerializer<T>	Serializer for a Pojo annotated with Component field annotations Serialized data is formatted as a list of components with each component having the format: <2 byte length><0>
AsciiSerializer	Almost identical to StringSerializer except we use the US-ASCII character set code
BigIntegerSerializer	Serializer implementation for BigInteger
BooleanSerializer	Converts bytes to Boolean and vice versa
ByteBufferSerializer	The BytesExtractor is a simple identity function.
BytesArraySerializer	A BytesArraySerializer translates the byte[] to and from ByteBuffer.
CharSerializer	Uses Char Serializer
CompositeSerializer
DateSerializer	Converts bytes to Date and vice versa, by first converting the Date to or from a long which represents the specified number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as "the Unix epoch", that is January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
DoubleSerializer	Uses LongSerializer via translating Doubles to and from raw long bytes form.
DynamicCompositeSerializer
FloatSerializer	Uses IntSerializer via translating Float objects to and from raw long bytes form.
IntegerSerializer	Converts bytes to Integer and vice versa
JaxbSerializer	Serializes Objects using Jaxb.
LongSerializer	Converts bytes to Long and vise a versa
ObjectSerializer	The ObjectSerializer is used to turn objects into their binary representations.
PrefixedSerializer<P, S>
ShortSerializer	Serializer for Shorts (no pun intended).
SpecificCompositeSerializer
StringSerializer	A StringSerializer translates the byte[] to and from string using utf-8 encoding.
TimeUUIDSerializer
TypeInferringSerializer<T>	A serializer that dynamically delegates to a proper serializer based on the value passed
UUIDSerializer	A UUIDSerializer translates the byte[] to and from UUID types.

Class Overview

Serializes a type T from the given bytes, or vice a versa. In cassandra column names and column values (and starting with 0.7.0 row keys) are all byte[]. To allow type safe conversion in java and keep all conversion code in one place we define the Extractor interface. Implementors of the interface define type conversion according to their domains. A predefined set of common extractors can be found in the extractors package, for example StringSerializer.
