Custom Type Hint Value

[Ludovic Chane]

Hi,
Is there any way to customize the type hint value ?

By default we have :
"_typeHint": "com.my.package.MyClass"

I would like something like :
"_typeHint": "MyClass"

(Json4s allows to do this with the TypeHints trait)

Regards,

Ludovic

Hi Ludovic,

Not at present.  The type hint value is used to resolve the correct grater, which is kept in the Context keyed by class name.  Reducing the type hint to "MyClass" means that "foo.MyClass" and "bar.MyClass" can't both exist.

What problem are you trying to solve?  If you're trying to reduce the size of output, you can customize the type hint key and/or suppress serialization of fields whose values match the default values supplied in the constructor.

Best,

Rose
