ContentSerializer

open class ContentSerializer : GLibObject.Object, ContentSerializerProtocol

The ContentSerializer type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying GdkContentSerializer instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through ContentSerializerProtocol conformance. Use ContentSerializer as a strong reference or owner of a GdkContentSerializer instance.

A GdkContentSerializer is used to serialize content for inter-application data transfers.

The GdkContentSerializer transforms an object that is identified by a GType into a serialized form (i.e. a byte stream) that is identified by a mime type.

GTK provides serializers and deserializers for common data types such as text, colors, images or file lists. To register your own serialization functions, use [funccontent_register_serializer].

Also see [classGdk.ContentDeserializer].

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying `C` data type.

    This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the ContentSerializer instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GdkContentSerializer>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
    Show on GitHub

  • Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the ContentSerializer instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafePointer<GdkContentSerializer>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
    Show on GitHub

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the ContentSerializer instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
override public init!(gpointer op: gpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    gpointer to the underlying object
    Show on GitHub

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gconstpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the ContentSerializer instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
override public init!(gconstpointer op: gconstpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

    Parameters

    op

public init<T>(contentSerializer other: T) where T : ContentSerializerProtocol

    Parameters

    other
