      T - the expected return type
      Parameters:
      factory - an AutoBeanFactory capable of producing AutoBean<T>
      clazz - the expected return type
      data - a payload previously generated by encode(AutoBean)
      Returns:
      an AutoBean containing the payload contents
    • decode

      public static <T> AutoBean<T> decode(AutoBeanFactory factory, Class<T> clazz, String payload)
      Decode an AutoBeanCodex payload.
      Type Parameters:
      T - the expected return type
      Parameters:
      factory - an AutoBeanFactory capable of producing AutoBean<T>
      clazz - the expected return type
      payload - a payload string previously generated by encode(AutoBean).getPayload().
      Returns:
      an AutoBean containing the payload contents
    • decodeInto

      public static void decodeInto(Splittable data, AutoBean<?> bean)
      Copy data from a Splittable into an AutoBean. Unset values in the Splittable will not nullify data that already exists in the AutoBean.
      Parameters:
      data - the source data to copy
      bean - the target AutoBean
    • encode

      public static Splittable encode(AutoBean<?> bean)
      Encodes an AutoBean. The actual payload contents can be retrieved through Splittable.getPayload().
      Parameters:
      bean - the bean to encode
      Returns:
      a Splittable that encodes the state of the AutoBean
