28 // This must be specialized for any type |T| to be serialized/deserialized as
29 // a mojom string.
30 //
31 // Imagine you want to specialize it for CustomString, usually you need to
32 // implement:
33 //
34 //   template <T>
35 //   struct StringTraits<CustomString> {
36 //     // These two methods are optional. Please see comments in struct_traits.h
37 //     static bool IsNull(const CustomString& input);
38 //     static void SetToNull(CustomString* output);
39 //
40 //     static size_t GetSize(const CustomString& input);
41 //     static const char* GetData(const CustomString& input);
42 //
43 //     static bool Read(StringDataView input, CustomString* output);
44 //   };
45 //
46 // In some cases, you may need to do conversion before you can return the size
47 // and data as 8-bit characters for serialization. (For example, CustomString is
48 // UTF-16 string). In that case, you can add two optional methods:
49 //
50 //   static void* SetUpContext(const CustomString& input);
51 //   static void TearDownContext(const CustomString& input, void* context);
52 //
53 // And then you append a second parameter, void* context, to GetSize() and
54 // GetData():
55 //
56 //   static size_t GetSize(const CustomString& input, void* context);
57 //   static const char* GetData(const CustomString& input, void* context);
58 //
59 // If a CustomString instance is not null, the serialization code will call
60 // SetUpContext() at the beginning, and pass the resulting context pointer to
61 // GetSize()/GetData(). After serialization is done, it calls TearDownContext()
62 // so that you can do any necessary cleanup.
