MethodDescriptor.Marshaller (grpc-all 1.76.0 API)

Type Parameters:

T - type of serializable message

All Known Subinterfaces:

MethodDescriptor.PrototypeMarshaller<T>, MethodDescriptor.ReflectableMarshaller<T>

Enclosing class:

MethodDescriptor<ReqT,RespT>
```
public static interface MethodDescriptor.Marshaller<T>
```
A typed abstraction over message serialization and deserialization, a.k.a. marshalling and unmarshalling.
Stub implementations will define implementations of this interface for each of the request and response messages provided by a service.

Since:

1.0.0

- Method Detail
  - stream
```
InputStream stream(T value)
```
    Given a message, produce an InputStream for it so that it can be written to the wire. Where possible implementations should produce streams that are KnownLength to improve transport efficiency.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - to serialize.
    
    Returns:
    
    serialized value as stream of bytes.
  - parse
