Implementations

impl ObjectSerializer

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new object serializer with default settings.

pub fn compact() -> Self

Create a compact serializer (minimal whitespace).

pub fn serialize(&self, obj: &Object) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize an object to bytes.

pub fn serialize_to_string(&self, obj: &Object) -> String

Serialize an object to a string (for debugging).

pub fn serialize_indirect(&self, id: u32, gen: u16, obj: &Object) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize an indirect object definition.

Format: {id} {gen} obj\n{object}\nendobj\n

pub fn serialize_indirect_encrypted( &self, id: u32, gen: u16, obj: &Object, handler: &EncryptionWriteHandler, ) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize an indirect object with encryption.

Format: {id} {gen} obj\n{encrypted_object}\nendobj\n

Strings and stream data within the object are encrypted using the provided encryption handler.

impl ObjectSerializer
