Completely unique value to identify this implementation of Serializer, used to optimize network traffic. Values from 0 to 40 are reserved for Akka internal usage.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
java.lang.Object	fromBinary(byte[] bytes)	Java API: deserialize without type hint
java.lang.Object	fromBinary(byte[] bytes, java.lang.Class<?> clazz)	Java API: deserialize with type hint
java.lang.Object	fromBinary(byte[] bytes, scala.Option<java.lang.Class<?>> manifest)	Produces an object from an array of bytes, with an optional type-hint; the class should be loaded using ActorSystem.dynamicAccess.
int	identifier()	Completely unique value to identify this implementation of Serializer, used to optimize network traffic.
boolean	includeManifest()	Returns whether this serializer needs a manifest in the fromBinary method
byte[]	toBinary(java.lang.Object o)	Serializes the given object into an Array of Byte
