Namespace: <a href="../akonadi/Akonadi.html">Akonadi</a><br />
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<dl class="abstract" compact><dt><b>Abstract class:</b></dt>
<dd>This class can be used as a base class for new classes, but can not be instantiated directly.</dd></dl>
<p>The base class for item type serializer plugins.
</p>
<p>
Serializer plugins convert between the payload of Akonadi.Item objects and
a textual or binary representation of the actual content data.
This allows to easily add support for new types to Akonadi.
</p>
<p>
The following example shows how to implement a serializer plugin for
a new data type PimNote.
</p>
<p>
The PimNote data structure:
<pre class="fragment">
 typedef struct {
   QString author;
   QDateTime dateTime;
   QString text;
 } PimNote;
</pre>
</p>
<p>
The serializer plugin code:
<pre class="fragment">
 #include <QtCore/qplugin.h>
 class SerializerPluginPimNote : public QObject, public Akonadi.ItemSerializerPlugin
 {
   Q_OBJECT
   Q_INTERFACES( Akonadi.ItemSerializerPlugin )
   public:
     bool deserialize( Akonadi.Item& item, const QByteArray& label, QIODevice& data, int version )
     {
       // we don't handle versions in this example
       Q_UNUSED( version );
       // we work only on full payload
       if ( label != Akonadi.Item.FullPayload )
         return false;
       QDataStream stream( &data );
       PimNote note;
       stream >> note.author;
       stream >> note.dateTime;
       stream >> note.text;
       item.setPayload<PimNote>( note );
       return true;
     }
     void serialize( const Akonadi.Item& item, const QByteArray& label, QIODevice& data, int &version )
     {
       // we don't handle versions in this example
       Q_UNUSED( version );
       if ( label != Akonadi.Item.FullPayload || !item.hasPayload<PimNote>() )
         return;
       QDataStream stream( &data );
       PimNote note = item.payload<PimNote>();
       stream << note.author;
       stream << note.dateTime;
       stream << note.text;
     }
 };
 Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2( akonadi_serializer_pimnote, SerializerPluginPimNote )
