Package org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer

Class JsonSerializer<T>

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.JsonSerializer<T>
Type Parameters:
T - class of the entity, representing messages
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serializer<T>
public class JsonSerializer<T> extends Object implements org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serializer<T>
Generic Serializer for sending Java objects to Kafka as JSON.

IMPORTANT: Configuration must be done completely with property setters or via configure(Map, boolean), not a mixture. If any setters have been called, configure(Map, boolean) will be a no-op.
