Direct Known Subclasses:

BinarySerializer, FastBinarySerializer, JsonSerializer

public abstract class Serializer
extends Object

Thrift serializers are stateless injectable implementation classes that transforms messages to binary stream (serializes), or binary stream to messages (deserializes). Since the serializer is state-less it should also be inherently thread safe (including not needing any synchronized methods.
