The Attean::API::Serializer role defines a common API for all serializers of typed objects to data (either a byte string or printed to a filehandle).

REQUIRED METHODS

The following methods are required by the Attean::API::Serializer role:

canonical_media_type

Returns the canonical media type string for the format of this serializer.

media_types

Returns an ARRAY reference of media type strings that also identify the format produced by this serializer.

handled_type

Returns a Type::Tiny object representing the type of items that are consumed during serialization.

file_extensions

Returns an ARRAY reference of file extensions commonly associated with the media types supported by the serializer (and returned by media_types). File extensions should NOT include a leading dot.

serialize_iter_to_io( $fh, $iterator )

Serializes the elements from the Attean::API::Iterator $iterator to the IO::Handle object $fh.

serialize_iter_to_bytes( $fh )

Serializes the elements from the Attean::API::Iterator $iterator and returns the serialization as a UTF-8 encoded byte string.

METHODS

This role provides default implementations of the following methods:

serialize_list_to_io( $fh, @elements )

Serializes the objects in @elements to the IO::Handle object $fh.

serialize_list_to_bytes( @elements )

Serializes the objects in @elements and returns the serialization as a UTF-8 encoded byte string.
