- Method Detail
  - abridged
```
public SerializerBuilder abridged(boolean value)
```
    Configuration property: Abridged output.
    When enabled, it is assumed that the parser knows the exact Java POJO type being parsed, and therefore top-level type information that might normally be included to determine the data type will not be serialized.
    See Also:
    - Serializer.SERIALIZER_abridged
    Parameters:
    
    value - The new value for this property.
    The default is false.
    
    Returns:
    
    This object (for method chaining).
  - abridged
