parse


Description:

public static Object parse (Variant data, Type type)

Reconstruct a Serializable from Variant data.

For this function to work you need to register a parser with register_parser. Any native Dee class will do so automatically.

This method only works on data created with serialize and not with data from externalize.

Since a SerializableParseFunc is not allowed to fail - by contract - it can be guaranteed that this function only returns null in case there is no known parser for type and Variant signature of data.

Parameters:

data

The Variant data to parse. If this is a floating reference it will be consumed

type

The Type of the class to instantiate from data

Returns:

A newly constructed Object build from data or null in case no parser has been registered for the given Type or variant signature. Free with unref.
