byte[]	encode(Object object) Decodes an byte array.

Method Detail

encode

byte[] encode(Object object)
       throws CodexException

Decodes an byte array. Notes for implementors: - This should throw `CodexException` when it comes across something it can not encode. - Provide builders for encoders when it makes sense.

Parameters:

object - The object

Returns:

A byte array representing this object.

Throws:

CodexException - Any exceptions processing this request.

canHandle

boolean canHandle(Class<?> clazz)

Can this encoder handle the given class. This is called during proxy construction and will cause the application to fail early.

Parameters:

clazz - The class ti check

Returns:

true if this encoder can decode the given class.
