      • automatic

        public PojoCodecProvider.Builder automatic​(boolean automatic)
        Sets whether the provider should automatically try to wrap a ClassModel for any class that is requested.

        Parameters:
        automatic - whether to automatically wrap ClassModels or not.
        Returns:
        this

        Parameters:
        classes - the classes to register
        Returns:
        this

        classModels - the classModels to register
        Returns:
        this
      • register

        public ... packageNames)
        Registers the packages of the given classes with the builder for inclusion in the Provider. This will allow classes in the given packages to mapped for use with PojoCodecProvider.

        Note: Uses reflection for the field mapping. If no conventions are configured on the builder the Conventions.DEFAULT_CONVENTIONS will be used.

        Parameters:
        packageNames - the package names to register

        this
      • register

        public PojoCodecProvider.Builder register​(PropertyCodecProvider... providers)
        Registers codec providers that receive the type parameters of properties for instances encoded and decoded by a PojoCodec handled by this provider.

        Note that you should prefer working with the CodecRegistry/CodecProvider hierarchy. Providers should only be registered here if a codec needs to be created for custom container types like optionals and collections. Support for types and are built-in so explicitly handling them is not necessary.

        Parameters:
        providers - property codec providers to register
        Returns:
        this
