13 * SPI-level contract for implementations of {@link DataObjectSerializer}.
14 * The contract is kept between implementation of {@link DataObjectSerializerRegistry},
15 * which maintains the lookup context required for recursive serialization.
17 * FIXME: this interface needs to be moved into .spi, but due to classpath funkyness
18 * of OSGi, that change has to be carefully orchestrated to ensure proper imports
19 * exist in all generated packages. One avenue how to achieve that is to move
20 * {@link YangModuleInfo} and modify code generator to add a static field
21 * to all generated classes which will point to the per-model YangModuleInfo
22 * (currently all users of it have to walk the package hierarchy, so that
23 * is an improvement in and of itself).
