Interface ConfigurationSerializable

public interface ConfigurationSerializable

Represents an object that may be serialized.

These objects MUST implement one of the following, in addition to the methods as defined by this interface:

• A static method "deserialize" that accepts a single Map<String, Object> and returns the class.
• A static method "valueOf" that accepts a single Map<String, Object> and returns the class.
• A constructor that accepts a single Map<String, Object>.

In addition to implementing this interface, you must register the class with ConfigurationSerialization.registerClass(Class).
