Interface ObjectgraphVisitor

public interface ObjectgraphVisitor
Visitor for the object graph.

The methods will be called as specific parts in the object graph are reached. The visits follow a depth-first approach.

All methods accept a VisitController. Use it to control the traversal.

    • visitNull

      default void visitNull(VisitController control)
      Called when a null value is encountered.
      Parameters:
      control - the control.

    • beforeObject

      default void beforeObject(@Nullable Object value, VisitController control, boolean alreadySeen)
      Called when any value is encountered.

      This means this method is called once before most of the specific visit methods here are called.

      It is not called before the leave.. and following methods:

      The visit will usually decend further into the objectgraph after this method. To avoid infinite traversing we will not continue if the already saw the object in the current path.

      Parameters:
      value - the value.
      control - the control.
      alreadySeen - true if we already saw this object. false otherwise.

    • visitEnum

      default void visitEnum(Enum<?> value, VisitController control)
      Not yet implemented.
      Parameters:
      value - the value.
      control - the control.

    • visitClass

      default void visitClass(Object value, VisitController control)
      Called when visiting "normal" class.

      Called when the value is not already handled bye

      Parameters:
      value - the value.
      control - the control.

    • visitClassField

      default void visitClassField(Object value, Field field, VisitController control)
      Called when visiting a field in a class.

      Note that value is not the value of the field. It is the instance which contains field.

      This is called directly after visitClass(Object, VisitController). Only the members that are declared in the specific class will be visited.

      If there are parent classes visitSuperClass(Object, Class, VisitController) will be called for each parent and this method will be called after each step in the class hierarchy.

      The following fields (and their values) will be ignored and not visited:

      • primitives like int or char
      • static fields
      • fields that are not accessible and can't be made acessible
      Parameters:
      value - the instance to which field belongs.
      field - The field inside value.
      control - the control.

      Called after all fields have been already visited.

      Parameters:
      value - the value.
      superType - the current type in the class hierarchy.
      control - the control.

    • leaveClass

      default void leaveClass(Object value, VisitController control)
      Called when visiting of a class has finished.

      This means visitClass(Object, VisitController) visitClassField(Object, Field, VisitController) and visitSuperClass(Object, Class, VisitController) have already handled all values.

      Parameters:
      value - the value.
