Codec

interface Codec<Source : Any, Target : Any> : Decoder<Target, Source> , Encoder<Source, Target> (source)

Bidirectional codec that converts between domain Source values and their serialized Target representations.

Implementations expose both encoding and decoding functionality together with runtime type metadata so that calling code can select codecs without relying on Java reflection.

Parameters

Source

domain model type produced by decode.

Target

serialized data type consumed by encode.
