apache::geode::client::Serializable
This base class is the superclass of all user objects in the cache that can be serialized.
Definition Serializable.hpp:53

apache::geode::client::Serializable::objectSize
virtual size_t objectSize() const
return the size in bytes of the instance being serialized.

apache::geode::client::Serializable::toString
virtual std::string toString() const
Display this object as 'string', which depends on the implementation in the subclasses.

apache::geode::client::Serializable::create
static std::shared_ptr< Serializable > create(_T value)
Factory method that creates the Serializable object that matches the type of value.
