Interface ITypeDescriber
The interface used to discover the members to (de)serialize for a type.
DefaultTypeDescriber, ManualTypeDescriber, and SurrogateTypeDescriber all implement this interface and handle the most common desired configurations.
Note to implementors: All ITypeDescriber methods must be thread safe, as they are invoked as needed during operation with no guarantee about the calling thread(s).

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Reflection.TypeInfo | forType |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<DeserializableMember> |
EnumerateMembersToSerialize(TypeInfo)
Enumerate all the members on forType to serialize.
Declaration
IEnumerable<SerializableMember> EnumerateMembersToSerialize(TypeInfo forType)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Reflection.TypeInfo | forType |

GetCellsForDynamicRow(WriteContext, Object, Span<DynamicCellValue>)
Called to determine the cells that make up the given dynamic row.
Returns the number of cells extracted from the row. If the given span is too small, its contents are ignored and GetCellsForDynamicRow is called again with one of at least the indicated size.
The content of the given span is undefined, in particular no values are guaranteed to be carried forward between calls.
Declaration
int GetCellsForDynamicRow(in WriteContext context, object row, Span<DynamicCellValue> cells)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| WriteContext | context | |
| System.Object | row | |
| System.Span<DynamicCellValue> | cells |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Int32 |
GetDynamicCellParserFor(ReadContext, TypeInfo)
Called to determine how to convert a dynamic cell.
Returns null if no Parser could be found.
Declaration
Parser GetDynamicCellParserFor(in ReadContext context, TypeInfo targetType)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ReadContext | context | |
| System.Reflection.TypeInfo | targetType |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Parser |
GetDynamicRowConverter(ReadContext, IEnumerable<ColumnIdentifier>, TypeInfo)
Called to determine how to convert an entire dynamic row into the given type.
Returns null if no DynamicRowConverter could be found.
Declaration
DynamicRowConverter GetDynamicRowConverter(in ReadContext context, IEnumerable<ColumnIdentifier> columns, TypeInfo targetType)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ReadContext | context | |
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<ColumnIdentifier> | columns | |
| System.Reflection.TypeInfo | targetType |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DynamicRowConverter |
GetInstanceProvider(TypeInfo)
Get the provider for instances of forType.
Returns null if no InstanceProvider could be found.
Declaration
InstanceProvider GetInstanceProvider(TypeInfo forType)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Reflection.TypeInfo | forType |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| InstanceProvider |
