Interface SerializerFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface SerializerFactory

A serializer factory that allows the creation of serializers. This factory will be called when a Kryo serializer discovers a new type for which no serializer is yet known. For example, when a factory is registered via Kryo.setDefaultSerializer(SerializerFactory) a different serializer can be created dependent on the type of a class.
