Interface IDataCodable

public interface IDataCodable

This class is an interface that you can use to convert a non-codable object to codable. Codable is defined as the ability of an Object to be encoded to an OutputStream or decoded from an InputStream to the original Object value, using the coder classes in the com.wm.util.coder package. You must provide a specific format that allows your derived class to be encoded as an IData object and decoded from an IData object.

Note: Your provided format must contain codable objects. For more information about codable objects, refer to the coder classes in the com.wm.util.coder package.
