GitHub user pjfanning edited a discussion: Adding custom serialization/deserialization for certain classes
I'm experimenting writing a serialization module that can be used with Apache Pekko. Pekko's main serialization module is Jackson based. That Jackson based implementation has a few custom serializers/deserializers for some important classes. I need to be able to serialize/deserialize a class that looks like `class Command(T payload, ActorRef ref)` The existing ActorRef serializer/deserializer serializes an address value as a String instead trying to serialize all the state of the ActorRef. Would it be possible to consider Fory support for registering custom serializer/deserializer combos for some classes and that these classes can be embedded in classes? In the Command class above, I would want to get Fory to serialize the full Command but when it gets to handling the ActorRef field that it uses the custom serializer that I have registered with Fory for the ActorRef class. One idea would be on ForyBuilder to support `registerCustomSerialization<T, S>(Class<T> clazz, Function<T, S> serializeFn, Function<S, T> deserializeFn, boolean supportSubclasses)` So when we run into an object instance in structured data that has a Class that matches T then we use the serializeFn to convert to class S, and on deserialization, we use the equivalent deserializeFn that converts from type T to type S. If `supportSubclasses` is set to true, S and any subclass of S is supported. Otherwise, the S check is an exact match.
