Description |
|---|---|
objToBeSerialized |
Required. An object to be serialized. |
| type | A type to which the object will be serialized. ColdFusion, by default supports XML and JSON formats. You can also implement support for other types in the CustomSerializer CFC. |
| useCustomSerializer | Boolean. Whether to use the custom serializer or not. The default value is true. The custom serializer will be always used for XML deserialization. If false, the XML/JSON deserialization will be done using the default ColdFusion behavior. If any other type is passed with useCustomSerializer as false, then TypeNotSupportedException will be thrown. |
