## Class StdSerializerProvider

- java.lang.Object
- - org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializerProvider
  - - org.codehaus.jackson.map.ser.StdSerializerProvider

-     public class StdSerializerProvider
      extends SerializerProvider

  Default `SerializerProvider` implementation. Handles caching aspects of serializer handling; all construction details are delegated to `SerializerFactory` instance.

  One note about implementation: the main instance constructed will be so-called "blueprint" object, and will NOT be used during actual serialization. Rather, an "instance" instance is created so that state can be carried along, as well as to avoid synchronization during serializer access. Because of this, if sub-classing, one must override method `createInstance(org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializationConfig, org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializerFactory)`: if this is not done, an exception will get thrown as base class verifies that the instance has same class as the blueprint (`instance.getClass() == blueprint.getClass()`). Check is done to prevent weird bugs that would otherwise occur.

  Starting with version 1.5, provider is also responsible for some parts of type serialization; specifically for locating proper type serializers to use for types.

      Method that can be called to see if this serializer provider can find a serializer for an instance of given class.

    - #### cachedSerializersCount

          public int cachedSerializersCount()

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method that can be used to determine how many serializers this provider is caching currently (if it does caching: default implementation does) Exact count depends on what kind of serializers get cached; default implementation caches all serializers, including ones that are eagerly constructed (for optimal access speed)

      The main use case for this method is to allow conditional flushing of serializer cache, if certain number of entries is reached.

      Specified by:
        `cachedSerializersCount` in class `SerializerProvider`

    - #### flushCachedSerializers

          public void flushCachedSerializers()

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method that will drop all serializers currently cached by this provider. This can be used to remove memory usage (in case some serializers are only used once or so), or to force re-construction of serializers after configuration changes for mapper than owns the provider.
      Specified by:
        `flushCachedSerializers` in class `SerializerProvider`

    - #### findValueSerializer

          public JsonSerializer<Object> findValueSerializer(Class<?> valueType,

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method called to get hold of a serializer for a value of given type; or if no such serializer can be found, a default handler (which may do a best-effort generic serialization or just simply throw an exception when invoked).

      Note: this method is only called for non-null values; not for keys or null values. For these, check out other accessor methods.

      Note that starting with version 1.5, serializers should also be type-aware if they handle polymorphic types. That means that it may be necessary to also use a `TypeSerializer` based on declared (static) type being serializer (whereas actual data may be serialized using dynamic type)

      Specified by:
        `findValueSerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException` - if there are fatal problems with accessing suitable serializer; including that of not finding any serializer

                                                     throws JsonMappingException

      This variant was added in 1.5, to allow for efficient access using full structured types, not just classes. This is necessary for accurate handling of external type information, to handle polymorphic types.
      Specified by:
        `findValueSerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`

    - #### findTypedValueSerializer

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method called to locate regular serializer, matching type serializer, and if both found, wrap them in a serializer that calls both in correct sequence. This method is currently only used for root-level serializer handling to allow for simpler caching. A call can always be replaced by equivalent calls to access serializer and type serializer separately.
      Specified by:
        `findTypedValueSerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`
      Parameters:
        `cache` - Whether resulting value serializer should be cached or not; this is just a hint
        `valueType` - Type for purpose of locating a serializer; usually dynamic runtime type, but can also be static declared type, depending on configuration
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`

    - #### findTypedValueSerializer

          public JsonSerializer<Object> findTypedValueSerializer(JavaType valueType,
                                                        boolean cache,
                                                        BeanProperty property)
                                                          throws JsonMappingException

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method called to locate regular serializer, matching type serializer, and if both found, wrap them in a serializer that calls both in correct sequence. This method is currently only used for root-level serializer handling to allow for simpler caching. A call can always be replaced by equivalent calls to access serializer and type serializer separately.
      Specified by:
        `findTypedValueSerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`
      Parameters:
        `valueType` - Declared type of value being serialized (which may not be actual runtime type); used for finding both value serializer and type serializer to use for adding polymorphic type (if any)
        `cache` - Whether resulting value serializer should be cached or not; this is just a hint
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`

    - #### findKeySerializer

          public JsonSerializer<Object> findKeySerializer(JavaType keyType,
                                                 BeanProperty property)
                                                   throws JsonMappingException

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method called to get the serializer to use for serializing non-null Map keys. Separation from regular `SerializerProvider.findValueSerializer(java.lang.Class<?>, org.codehaus.jackson.map.BeanProperty)` method is because actual write method must be different (@link JsonGenerator#writeFieldName}; but also since behavior for some key types may differ.

      Note that the serializer itself can be called with instances of any Java object, but not nulls.

      Specified by:
        `findKeySerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`
      Throws:
        `JsonMappingException`

    - #### getNullKeySerializer

          public JsonSerializer<Object> getNullKeySerializer()

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method called to get the serializer to use for serializing Map keys that are nulls: this is needed since JSON does not allow any non-String value as key, including null.

      Typically, returned serializer will either throw an exception, or use an empty String; but other behaviors are possible.

      Specified by:
        `getNullKeySerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`

    - #### getNullValueSerializer

          public JsonSerializer<Object> getNullValueSerializer()

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method called to get the serializer to use for serializing values (root level, Array members or List field values) that are nulls. Specific accessor is needed because nulls in Java do not contain type information.

      Typically returned serializer just writes out Json literal null value.

      Specified by:
        `getNullValueSerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`

    - #### getUnknownTypeSerializer

          public JsonSerializer<Object> getUnknownTypeSerializer(Class<?> unknownType)

      Description copied from class: `SerializerProvider`
      Method called to get the serializer to use if provider can not determine an actual type-specific serializer to use; typically when none of `SerializerFactory` instances are able to construct a serializer.

      Typically, returned serializer will throw an exception, although alternatively `ToStringSerializer` could be returned as well.

      Specified by:
        `getUnknownTypeSerializer` in class `SerializerProvider`
      Parameters:
        `unknownType` - Type for which no serializer is found

    - #### defaultSerializeDateValue

          public final void defaultSerializeDateValue(long timestamp,
