/**
 * Parent class for all Juneau serializers.
 *
 * <h5 class='topic'>Description</h5>
 * <p>
 * Base serializer class that serves as the parent class for all serializers.
 *
 * <p>
 * The purpose of this class is:
 * <ul>
 *    <li>Maintain a read-only configuration state of a serializer.
 *    <li>Create session objects used for serializing POJOs (i.e. {@link SerializerSession}).
 *    <li>Provide convenience methods for serializing POJOs without having to construct session objects.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * Subclasses should (but are not required to) extend directly from {@link OutputStreamSerializer} or {@link WriterSerializer} depending on
 * whether it's a stream or character based serializer.
 *
 * <p>
 * Subclasses must implement parsing via one of the following methods:
 * <ul class='javatree'>
 *    <li class='jmp'>{@link #doSerialize(SerializerSession, SerializerPipe, Object)}
 *    <li class='jmp'>{@link SerializerSession#doSerialize(SerializerPipe, Object)}
 * </ul>
 * <br>
 *
 * <h5 class='section'>Notes:</h5><ul>
 *    <li class='note'>This class is thread safe and reusable.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h5 class='section'>See Also:</h5><ul>
 *    <li class='link'><a class="doclink" href="https://juneau.apache.org/docs/topics/SerializersAndParsers">Serializers and Parsers</a>
