Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`VariableSerializers`	`addSerializer(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer)`
`VariableSerializers`	`addSerializer(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer, int index)` Add type at the given index.
`TypedValueSerializer`	`findSerializerForValue(TypedValue value)` Same as calling `findSerializerForValue(TypedValue, VariableSerializerFactory)` with no fallback serializer factory.
`TypedValueSerializer`	`findSerializerForValue(TypedValue value, VariableSerializerFactory fallBackSerializerFactory)` Selects the `TypedValueSerializer` which should be used for persisting a VariableValue.
`TypedValueSerializer<?>`	`getSerializerByName(String serializerName)`
`int`	`getSerializerIndex(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer)`
`int`	`getSerializerIndexByName(String serializerName)`
`List<TypedValueSerializer<?>>`	`getSerializers()` Returns the serializers as a list in the order of their indices.
`VariableSerializers`	`join(VariableSerializers other)` Merges two `VariableSerializers` instances into one.
`VariableSerializers`	`removeSerializer(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer)`

- Method Detail
  - findSerializerForValue
```
TypedValueSerializer findSerializerForValue(TypedValue value,
                                            VariableSerializerFactory fallBackSerializerFactory)
```
    Selects the TypedValueSerializer which should be used for persisting a VariableValue.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value to persist
    
    fallBackSerializerFactory - a factory to build a fallback serializer in case no suiting serializer can be determined. If this factory is not able to build serializer either, an exception is thrown. May be null
    
    Returns:
    
    the VariableValueserializer selected for persisting the value or 'null' in case no serializer can be found
  - findSerializerForValue
```
TypedValueSerializer findSerializerForValue(TypedValue value)
```
    Same as calling findSerializerForValue(TypedValue, VariableSerializerFactory) with no fallback serializer factory.
  - getSerializerByName
```
TypedValueSerializer<?> getSerializerByName(String serializerName)
```
    Returns:
    
    the serializer for the given serializerName name. Returns null if no type was found with the name.
  - addSerializer
```
VariableSerializers addSerializer(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer)
```
  - addSerializer
```
VariableSerializers addSerializer(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer,
                                  int index)
```
    Add type at the given index. The index is used when finding a serializer for a VariableValue. When different serializers can store a specific variable value, the one with the smallest index will be used.
  - removeSerializer
```
VariableSerializers removeSerializer(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer)
```
  - getSerializerIndex
```
int getSerializerIndex(TypedValueSerializer<?> serializer)
```
  - getSerializerIndexByName
```
int getSerializerIndexByName(String serializerName)
```
  - join
```
VariableSerializers join(VariableSerializers other)
```
    Merges two VariableSerializers instances into one. Implementations may apply different merging strategies.
  - getSerializers
```
List<TypedValueSerializer<?>> getSerializers()
```
    Returns the serializers as a list in the order of their indices.
