Class AnnotatedCaster<T>

java.lang.Object

io.fluxzero.sdk.common.serialization.casting.AnnotatedCaster<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the underlying type of the serialized data

public class AnnotatedCaster<T>
extends Object

Represents a dynamically discovered casting method (annotated with Upcast or Downcast) that is bound to a specific data revision and type.

This class delegates casting logic to a functional wrapper around the annotated method, and is typically instantiated by CastInspector as part of building a CasterChain.

 Function<SerializedObject<T>, Stream<SerializedObject<T>>> castFunction)

Creates a new AnnotatedCaster.

Parameters:

method - the underlying Java method that performs casting

castParameters - the parameters from the Cast annotation (e.g., type and revision)

castFunction - a function that applies the casting logic to a given SerializedObject

Method Details

cast

public <S extends SerializedObject<T>> Stream<S> cast(S input)

Applies the casting logic to the given serialized object if its type and revision match this caster’s parameters. If the input does not match, it is returned unmodified.

Type Parameters:

S - the input and output serialized object type

Parameters:

input - the serialized object to potentially cast

Returns:

a stream containing the casted result(s) or the original input if no match was found

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
