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.

Types

Companion

object Companion

Factory helpers for common Codec construction patterns.

Properties

sourceClass

abstract val sourceClass: KClass<Source>

runtime KClass describing the supported Source type.

targetClass

abstract val targetClass: KClass<Target>

runtime KClass describing the supported Target type.

Functions

toByteArrayCodec

fun <T : Any> StringCodec<T>.toByteArrayCodec(): ByteArrayCodec<T>

Converts a StringCodec into a ByteArrayCodec by bridging through Kotlin's default string/byte array conversions.

unsafeTransformSource

inline fun <Source : Any, Target : Any, Source2 : Any> Codec<Source, Target>.unsafeTransformSource(crossinline from: (Source) -> Source2, crossinline to: (Source2) -> Source): Codec<Source2, Target>

Adapts a codec to a different source type while reusing the original target representation.

unsafeTransformTarget

inline fun <Source : Any, Target : Any, Target2 : Any> Codec<Source, Target>.unsafeTransformTarget(crossinline from: (Target2) -> Target, crossinline to: (Target) -> Target2): Codec<Source, Target2>

Adapts a codec to a different target type while keeping the original source type.
