The following methods are required by the Attean::API::Serializer role:

canonical_media_type

handled_type

file_extensions

Returns an ARRAY reference of file extensions commonly associated with the media types supported by the serializer (and returned by media_types). File extensions should NOT include a leading dot.

serialize_iter_to_io( $fh, $iterator )

Serializes the elements from the Attean::API::Iterator $iterator to the IO::Handle object $fh.

serialize_iter_to_bytes( $fh )

Serializes the elements from the Attean::API::Iterator $iterator and returns the serialization as a UTF-8 encoded byte string.

METHODS

This role provides default implementations of the following methods:

serialize_list_to_io( $fh, @elements )

Serializes the objects in @elements to the IO::Handle object $fh.

serialize_list_to_bytes( @elements )
