NAME

       Attean::API::Serializer - Serializer role

VERSION

       This document describes Attean::API::Serializer version 0.035

DESCRIPTION

       The Attean::API::Serializer role defines a common API for all serializers of typed objects to data
       (either a byte string or printed to a filehandle).

REQUIRED METHODS

       The following methods are required by the Attean::API::Serializer role:

       "canonical_media_type"
           Returns the canonical media type string for the format of this serializer.

       "media_types"
           Returns  an  ARRAY  reference  of  media  type strings that also identify the format produced by this
           serializer.

       "handled_type"
           Returns a Type::Tiny object representing the type of items that are consumed during serialization.

       "file_extensions"
           Returns an ARRAY reference of file extensions commonly associated with the media types  supported  by
           the serializer (and returned by "media_types").  File extensions should NOT include a leading dot.

       "serialize_iter_to_io( $fh, $iterator )"
           Serializes the elements from the Attean::API::Iterator $iterator to the IO::Handle object $fh.

       serialize_iter_to_bytes( $fh )
           Serializes  the  elements from the Attean::API::Iterator $iterator and returns the serialization as a
           UTF-8 encoded byte string.

METHODS

       This role provides default implementations of the following methods:

       "serialize_list_to_io( $fh, @elements )"
           Serializes the objects in @elements to the IO::Handle object $fh.

       serialize_list_to_bytes( @elements )
           Serializes the objects in @elements and returns the serialization as a UTF-8 encoded byte string.

       Please  report  any   bugs   or   feature   requests   to   through   the   GitHub   web   interface   at
