Description: Reference for Json.Serializable

### Interface

# JsonSerializable

#### Description [src]

    interface Json.Serializable : GObject.Object

`JsonSerializable` is an interface for controlling the serialization and deserialization of `GObject` classes.

Implementing this interface allows controlling how the class is going to be serialized or deserialized by `json_construct_gobject()` and `json_serialize_gobject()`, respectively.

#### Prerequisite

In order to implement Serializable, your type must inherit from `GObject`.

#### Instance methods

###### json_serializable_default_deserialize_property

Calls the default implementation of the `Json.SerializableIface.deserialize_property` virtual function.

Available since: 0.10

###### json_serializable_default_serialize_property

Calls the default implementation of the `Json.SerializableIface.serialize_property` virtual function.

Available since: 0.10

###### json_serializable_deserialize_property

Asks a `JsonSerializable` implementation to deserialize the property contained inside `property_node` and place its value into `value`.

###### json_serializable_find_property

Calls the `Json.SerializableIface.find_property` implementation on the `JsonSerializable` instance, which will return the property description for the given name.

Available since: 0.14

###### json_serializable_get_property

Calls the `Json.SerializableIface.get_property` implementation on the `JsonSerializable` instance, which will get the value of the given property.

Available since: 0.14

###### json_serializable_list_properties

Calls the `Json.SerializableIface.list_properties` implementation on the `JsonSerializable` instance, which will return the list of serializable properties.

Available since: 0.14

###### json_serializable_serialize_property

Asks a `JsonSerializable` implementation to serialize an object property into a JSON node.

###### json_serializable_set_property

Calls the `Json.SerializableIface.set_property` implementation on the `JsonSerializable` instance, which will set the property with the given value.

Available since: 0.14
