## Class BeanSerializerBuilder

- java.lang.Object
- - org.codehaus.jackson.map.ser.BeanSerializerBuilder

-     public class BeanSerializerBuilder
      extends Object

  Builder class used for aggregating deserialization information about a POJO, in order to build a `JsonSerializer` for serializing intances. Main reason for using separate builder class is that this makes it easier to make actual serializer class fully immutable.
  Since:
    1.7

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected AnyGetterWriter` | `_anyGetter` Writer used for "any getter" properties, if any.
    `protected BasicBeanDescription` | `_beanDesc`
    `protected BeanPropertyWriter[]` | `_filteredProperties` Optional array of filtered property writers; if null, no view-based filtering is performed.
    `protected Object` | `_filterId` Id of the property filter to use for POJO, if any.
    `protected List<BeanPropertyWriter>` | `_properties` Bean properties, in order of serialization
