 extends <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang">Object</a></pre>
 <div class="block">Provides static helper methods for reading and writing non-primitive data when working with a
  <a href="../../../org/apache/geode/DataSerializable.html" title="interface in org.apache.geode"><code>DataSerializable</code></a>. For instance, classes that implement <code>DataSerializable</code> can
  use the <code>DataSerializer</code> in their <code>toData</code> and <code>fromData</code>
  methods:

  <!-- The source code for the Employee class resides in tests/com/examples/ds/Employee.java Please
  keep the below code snippet in sync with that file. -->

  <PRE>
  public class Employee implements DataSerializable {
    private int id;
    private String name;
    private Date birthday;
    private Company employer;

    public void toData(DataOutput out) throws IOException {
      out.writeInt(this.id);
      out.writeUTF(this.name);
      DataSerializer.writeDate(this.birthday, out);
      DataSerializer.writeObject(this.employer, out);
    }

    public void fromData(DataInput in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {

      this.id = in.readInt();
      this.name = in.readUTF();
      this.birthday = DataSerializer.readDate(in);
      this.employer = (Company) DataSerializer.readObject(in);
    }
  }

  </PRE>

  <P>

  Instances of <code>DataSerializer</code> are used to data serialize objects (such as instances of
  standard Java classes or third-party classes for which the source code is not available) that do
  not implement the <code>DataSerializable</code> interface.

  <P>

  The following <code>DataSerializer</code> data serializes instances of <code>Company</code>. In
  order for the data serialization framework to consult this custom serializer, it must be
  <a href="../../../org/apache/geode/DataSerializer.html#register-java.lang.Class-">registered</a> with the framework.

  <!-- The source code for the CompanySerializer class resides in
  tests/com/examples/ds/CompanySerializer.java Please keep the below code snippet in sync with that
  file. -->

  <PRE>
 public class CompanySerializer extends DataSerializer {

   static {
     DataSerializer.register(CompanySerializer.class);
   }

   &#47;**
  May be invoked reflectively if instances of Company are
  distributed to other VMs.
 &#47;
   public CompanySerializer() {

   }

   public Class[] getSupportedClasses() {
     return new Class[] { Company.class };
   }
   public int getId() {
     return 42;
   }

   public boolean toData(Object o, DataOutput out)
     throws IOException {
     if (o instanceof Company) {
       Company company = (Company) o;
       out.writeUTF(company.getName());

       // Let's assume that Address is java.io.Serializable
       Address address = company.getAddress();
       writeObject(address, out);
       return true;

     } else {
       return false;
     }
   }

   public Object fromData(DataInput in)
     throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {

     String name = in.readUTF();
     Address address = (Address) readObject(in);
     return new Company(name, address);
   }
 }
  </PRE>

  Just like <a href="../../../org/apache/geode/Instantiator.html" title="class in org.apache.geode"><code>Instantiator</code></a>s, a <code>DataSerializer</code> may be sent to other members of
  the distributed system when it is <a href="../../../org/apache/geode/DataSerializer.html#register-java.lang.Class-">registered</a>. The data
  serialization framework does not require that a <code>DataSerializer</code> be
  <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/Serializable.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.io"><code>Serializable</code></a>, but it does require that it provide a <a href="../../../org/apache/geode/DataSerializer.html#DataSerializer--">zero-argument constructor</a>.</div>
