Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`static class`	`Codecs.AbstractCodec`	Abstract `Codec` implementations that encodes objects by simply delegating to `PofWriter.writeObject(int, Object)`.
`static class`	`Codecs.ArrayCodec`	Implementation of `Codec` that delegates to `PofReader.readObjectArray(int, Object[])` and `PofWriter.writeObjectArray(int, Object[])` to deserialize and serialize an object.
`static class`	`Codecs.CollectionCodec`	Implementation of `Codec` that delegates to `PofReader.readCollection(int, Collection)` and `PofWriter.writeCollection(int, Collection)` to deserialize and serialize an object.
`static class`	`Codecs.DefaultCodec`	Implementation of `Codec` that simply delegates to `PofReader.readObject(int)` and `PofWriter.writeObject(int, Object)` to deserialize and serialize an object.
`static class`	`Codecs.LongArrayCodec`	Implementation of `Codec` that delegates to `PofReader.readLongArray(int, LongArray)` and `PofWriter.writeLongArray(int, LongArray)` to deserialize and serialize an object.
`static class`	`Codecs.MapCodec`	Implementation of `Codec` that delegates to `PofReader.readMap(int, Map)` and `PofWriter.writeMap(int, Map)` to deserialize and serialize an object.

```
    Return a Codec based on the provided Class.
    The provided Class should implement one of:
    
    Codec - the Codec implementation should have a no-arg constructor which will be instantiated and returned.
    
    Collection - the provided class should implement the Collection interface and have a no-arg constructor. A Codec supporting Collections will be returned
    
    Map - the provided class should implement the Map interface and have a no-arg constructor. A Codec supporting Maps will be returned
    
    LongArray - the provided class should implement the LongArray interface and have a no-arg constructor. A Codec supporting LongArrays will be returned
    
    T[] - the provided class should be an array and the component type of the array should have a no-arg constructor. A Codec supporting arrays will be returned
    Parameters:
    
    clz - a Class that implements Codec or is one of the supported types
    
    Returns:
    
    a Codec that supports encoding and decoding of objects of the specified type
