Class fsObjectProcessor

Enables injecting code before/after an object has been serialized. This is most useful if you want to run the default serialization process but apply a pre/post processing step.

Multiple object processors can be active at the same time. When running they are called in a "nested" fashion - if we have processor1 and process2 added to the serializer in that order (p1 then p2), then the execution order will be p1#Before p2#Before /serialization/ p2#After p1#After.

Methods

CanProcess(Type)

Is the processor interested in objects of the given type?

Declaration
public virtual bool CanProcess(Type type)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type type

The given type.
Returns
Type Description
Boolean

True if the processor should be applied, false otherwise.

OnAfterDeserialize(Type, Object)

Called after deserialization.

Declaration
public virtual void OnAfterDeserialize(Type storageType, object instance)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type storageType

The field/property type that is storing the instance.
Object instance

The type of the instance.

OnAfterSerialize(Type, Object, ref fsData)

Called after serialization.

Declaration
public virtual void OnAfterSerialize(Type storageType, object instance, ref fsData data)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type storageType

The field/property type that is storing the instance.
Object instance

The type of the instance.
fsData data

The data that was serialized.

OnBeforeDeserialize(Type, ref fsData)

Called before deserialization.

Declaration
public virtual void OnBeforeDeserialize(Type storageType, ref fsData data)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type storageType

The field/property type that is storing the instance.
fsData data

The data that will be used for deserialization.

OnBeforeDeserializeAfterInstanceCreation(Type, Object, ref fsData)

Called before deserialization has begun but after the object instance has been created. This will get invoked even if the user passed in an existing instance.

Declaration
public virtual void OnBeforeDeserializeAfterInstanceCreation(Type storageType, object instance, ref fsData data)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type storageType

The field/property type that is storing the instance.
Object instance

The created object instance. No deserialization has been applied to it.
fsData data

The data that will be used for deserialization.
Remarks

IMPORTANT: The actual instance that gets passed here is not guaranteed to be an a subtype of storageType, since the value for instance is whatever the active converter returned for CreateInstance() - ie, some converters will return dummy types in CreateInstance() if instance creation cannot be separated from deserialization (ie, KeyValuePair).

OnBeforeSerialize(Type, Object)

Called before serialization.

Declaration
public virtual void OnBeforeSerialize(Type storageType, object instance)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type storageType

The field/property type that is storing the instance.
Object instance

The type of the instance.
