Class ParametersSerializer<ParametersT extends Parameters,SerializationT extends Serialization>

java.lang.Object

com.google.crypto.tink.internal.ParametersSerializer<ParametersT,SerializationT>

public abstract class ParametersSerializer<ParametersT extends Parameters,SerializationT extends Serialization>
extends Object

Serializes Parameters objects into Serialization objects of a certain kind.

This class should eventually be in Tinks public API -- however, it might still change before that.

Creates a ParametersSerializer object.

In order to create a ParametersSerializer object, one typically writes a function

 class MyClass {
   private static MySerialization serializeParameters(MyParameters Parameters)
             throws GeneralSecurityException {
     ...
   }
 }
 

This function can then be used to create a ParametersSerializer:

 ParametersSerializer<MyParameters, MySerialization> serializer =
       ParametersSerializer.create(MyClass::serializeParameters, MyParameters.class,
                                  MySerialization.class);
