Interface SerializerFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

GsonSerializerFactory, KryoSerializerFactory

public interface SerializerFactory

A serializer Factory is created during configuration. The factory can then decide how it wants to organize access to shared resources, if any. For example, some serializers might have slow startup times which means the factory might want to do the startup work once and then hand out individual serializers that use the shared configuration.

In Sodacan, each individual Actor will have its own Serializer instance. The implementation can choose how to pool and/or share expensive resources, if any, but it will need to consider concurrency issues if it does share such resources. Also note that Serializers will come and go quickly as Actor instances are created and destroyed. Therefore, resources that are expensive to create that are shareable should be kept in the factory rather than in the individual instances.
