PxSerializationRegistry

Defined in include/common/PxSerialFramework.h

class PxSerializationRegistry

Class serving as a registry for XML (RepX) and binary serializable types.

In order to serialize and deserialize objects the application needs to maintain an instance of this class. It can be created with PxSerialization::createSerializationRegistry() and released with PxSerializationRegistry::release().

Binary Serialization Functionality

virtual void registerSerializer(PxType type, PxSerializer &serializer) = 0

Register a serializer for a concrete type.

Parameters

type – PxConcreteType corresponding to the serializer
serializer – The PxSerializer to be registered

virtual PxSerializer *unregisterSerializer(PxType type) = 0

Unregister a serializer for a concrete type, and retrieves the corresponding serializer object.

Parameters: type – PxConcreteType for which the serializer should be unregistered
Returns: Unregistered serializer corresponding to type, NULL for types for which no serializer has been registered.

virtual void registerBinaryMetaDataCallback(PxBinaryMetaDataCallback callback) = 0

Register binary meta data callback.

Deprecated:: Binary conversion and binary meta data are deprecated.

The callback is executed when calling PxSerialization::dumpBinaryMetaData.

Parameters: callback – PxBinaryMetaDataCallback to be registered.

virtual const PxSerializer *getSerializer(PxType type) const = 0

Returns PxSerializer corresponding to type.

PxConcreteType

Parameters: type – PxConcreteType of the serializer requested.
Returns: Registered PxSerializer object corresponding to type

RepX (XML) Serialization Functionality

virtual void registerRepXSerializer(PxType type, PxRepXSerializer &serializer) = 0

Register a RepX serializer for a concrete type.

See also

PxConcreteType, PxRepXSerializer

Parameters

type – PxConcreteType corresponding to the RepX serializer
serializer – The PxRepXSerializer to be registered

virtual PxRepXSerializer *unregisterRepXSerializer(PxType type) = 0

Unregister a RepX serializer for a concrete type, and retrieves the corresponding serializer object.

Parameters: type – PxConcreteType for which the RepX serializer should be unregistered
Returns: Unregistered PxRepxSerializer corresponding to type, NULL for types for which no RepX serializer has been registered.

virtual PxRepXSerializer *getRepXSerializer(const char *typeName) const = 0

Returns RepX serializer given the corresponding type name.

PxRepXSerializer, PxTypeInfo, PX_DEFINE_TYPEINFO

Parameters: typeName – Name of the type
Returns: Registered PxRepXSerializer object corresponding to type name

virtual void release() = 0

Releases PxSerializationRegistry instance.

This unregisters all PhysX and PhysXExtension serializers. Make sure to unregister all custom type serializers before releasing the PxSerializationRegistry.
