Member Function Documentation

bool servus::Serializable::fromBinary

(

const Data &

data

)

Update this serializable from its binary representation.

Returns

true on success, false on error.

bool servus::Serializable::fromJSON

(

const std::string &

json

)

Update this serializable from its JSON representation.

Returns

true on success, false on error.

virtual uint128_t servus::Serializable::getTypeIdentifier ( ) const

virtual

Returns

the universally unique identifier of this serializable.

virtual std::string servus::Serializable::getTypeName ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns

the fully qualified, demangled class name.

void servus::Serializable::registerDeserializedCallback

(

const DeserializedCallback &

callback

)

Register a function called after the object has been updated remotely (via a subscriber, a http server, loading from file...).

Only one callback is supported at the moment, to deregister the callback, call this function with a 'nullptr' (or 0) parameter.

Exceptions

if	a DeserializedCallback is already registered and the specified callback is not 'nullptr' (or 0)

void servus::Serializable::registerSerializeCallback

(

const SerializeCallback &

callback

)

Register a function to be called when the serializable object is about to be serialized.

Only one callback is supported at the moment, to deregister the callback, call this function with a 'nullptr' (or 0) parameter.

Exceptions

if	a SerializedCallback is already registered and the specified callback is not 'nullptr' (or 0)

Data servus::Serializable::toBinary

(

)

const

Get a binary representation of this object.

The returned data is not thread safe, that is, it should not be modified until the caller of this method has completed its execution.

Returns

the binary representation of this object.

std::string servus::Serializable::toJSON

(

)

const

Returns

the JSON representation of this serializable.
