Class PersistenceDelegate

public abstract class PersistenceDelegate extends Object

A PersistenceDelegate describes how a another object has to constructed and transformed in order to create a complete replicate.

For custom classes you will need to implement PersistenceDelegate in a way that is suitable for them. To make use of the implementation you have to register it with an {@link Encoder} using the {Encoder#setPersistenceDelegate} method.
