public class ByteArraySerializer extends java.lang.Object implements Serializer<byte[]>
Serializer for byte[] type. Simply writes the byte array
 to a byte buffer.
 
 Note that equals(byte[], ByteBuffer) does not follow the byte[].equals(Object) contract but does
 byte-to-byte comparison of both byte arrays.

| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| boolean | equals(byte[] object,
      java.nio.ByteBuffer binary)Checks if the given instance and serial form  representthe same instance. | 
| byte[] | read(java.nio.ByteBuffer binary)Reconstructs an instance from the given serial form. | 
| java.nio.ByteBuffer | serialize(byte[] object)Transforms the given instance into its serial form. |
