Interface ObjectStreamConstants

Known Implementing Classes:: ObjectInputStream, ObjectOutputStream

public interface ObjectStreamConstants

This interface contains constants that are used in object serialization. This interface is used by ObjectOutputStream, ObjectInputStream, and ObjectStreamClass. The values for these constants are specified by the Java library specification.

Since:: 1.1
