    • appendUri

      public SerializerWriter appendUri(Object value)
      Appends the specified object as a URI.

      Object is converted to a String using toString(), so this will work on URL or URI objects, or any other type that returns a URI via it's toString() method.

      The URI is resolved based on the Serializer.Builder.uriRelativity(UriRelativity) and Serializer.Builder.uriResolution(UriResolution) settings and the UriContext that's part of the session.

      Parameters:
      value - The URI to serialize.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • append

      public SerializerWriter append(char[] value)
