Interface Deserializer<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Type to be deserialized into.

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable

All Known Subinterfaces:

ExtendedDeserializer<T>

public interface Deserializer<T>
extends Closeable

An interface for converting bytes to objects. A class that implements this interface is expected to have a constructor with no parameters.

Implement ClusterResourceListener to receive cluster metadata once it's available. Please see the class documentation for ClusterResourceListener for more information.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default void	close()	Close this deserializer.
default void	configure(Map<String,?> configs, boolean isKey)	Configure this class.
T	deserialize(String topic, byte[] data)	Deserialize a record value from a byte array into a value or object.
default T	deserialize(String topic, Headers headers, byte[] data)	Deserialize a record value from a byte array into a value or object.

Method Detail

configure

default void configure(Map<String,?> configs,
                       boolean isKey)

Configure this class.

Parameters:

configs - configs in key/value pairs

isKey - whether is for key or value

deserialize

T deserialize(String topic,
              byte[] data)

Deserialize a record value from a byte array into a value or object.

Parameters:

topic - topic associated with the data

data - serialized bytes; may be null; implementations are recommended to handle null by returning a value or null rather than throwing an exception.

Returns:

deserialized typed data; may be null

deserialize

default T deserialize(String topic,
                      Headers headers,
                      byte[] data)

Deserialize a record value from a byte array into a value or object.

Parameters:

topic - topic associated with the data

headers - headers associated with the record; may be empty.

data - serialized bytes; may be null; implementations are recommended to handle null by returning a value or null rather than throwing an exception.

Returns:

deserialized typed data; may be null

close

default void close()

Close this deserializer.

This method must be idempotent as it may be called multiple times.
