Interface Inverter<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of object that can be inverted and deserialized

All Superinterfaces:

Converter<byte[],T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

JacksonInverter

public interface Inverter<T>
extends Converter<byte[],T>

Interface responsible for converting a domain object into a SerializedDocument for indexing, and vice versa—deserializing a byte[] representation into the original object type.

An Inverter is a specialized Converter used in the search module. It bridges the gap between serializable objects and searchable document formats. Implementations handle both document creation and deserialization from raw data.
