    Description copied from class: ContainerSerializer
    
    Method that needs to be implemented to allow construction of a new serializer object with given TypeSerializer, used when addition type information is to be embedded.
    
    Specified by:
    
    _withValueTypeSerializer in class ContainerSerializer<Map.Entry<?,?>>
  - withResolved
```
public MapEntrySerializer withResolved(BeanProperty property,
                              JsonSerializer<?> keySerializer,

                                   throws JsonMappingException
```
    Description copied from interface: ContextualSerializer
    
    Method called to see if a different (or differently configured) serializer is needed to serialize values of specified property. Note that instance that this method is called on is typically shared one and as a result method should NOT modify this instance but rather construct and return a new instance. This instance should only be returned as-is, in case it is already suitable for use.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createContextual in interface ContextualSerializer
    
    Parameters:
    provider - Serializer provider to use for accessing config, other serializers
    property - Method or field that represents the property (and is used to access value to serialize). Should be available; but there may be cases where caller can not provide it and null is passed instead (in which case impls usually pass 'this' serializer as is)
    
    Returns:
    Serializer to use for serializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    JsonMappingException
  - getContentType
```
public JavaType getContentType()
```
    Description copied from class: ContainerSerializer
    
    Accessor for finding declared (static) element type for type this serializer is used for.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getContentType in class ContainerSerializer<Map.Entry<?,?>>
  - getContentSerializer
```
public JsonSerializer<?> getContentSerializer()
```
    Description copied from class: ContainerSerializer
    
    Accessor for serializer used for serializing contents (List and array elements, Map values etc) of the container for which this serializer is used, if it is known statically. Note that for dynamic types this may return null; if so, caller has to instead use ContainerSerializer.getContentType() and SerializerProvider.findValueSerializer(java.lang.Class<?>, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.BeanProperty).
    
    Specified by:
    
    getContentSerializer in class ContainerSerializer<Map.Entry<?,?>>
  - hasSingleElement
```
public boolean hasSingleElement(Map.Entry<?,?> value)
```
    Description copied from class: ContainerSerializer
    
    Method called to determine if the given value (of type handled by this serializer) contains exactly one element.
    Note: although it might seem sensible to instead define something like "getElementCount()" method, this would not work well for containers that do not keep track of size (like linked lists may not).
    
    Specified by:
    
    hasSingleElement in class ContainerSerializer<Map.Entry<?,?>>
  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty(Map.Entry<?,?> value)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
    
    Method called to check whether given serializable value is considered "empty" value (for purposes of suppressing serialization of empty values).
    Default implementation will consider only null values to be empty.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isEmpty in class ContainerSerializer<Map.Entry<?,?>>
  - serialize
```
public void serialize(Map.Entry<?,?> value,
             com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,
             SerializerProvider provider)
               throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
    
    Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles.
    
    Specified by:
    
    serialize in class StdSerializer<Map.Entry<?,?>>
    
    Parameters:
    value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
    gen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
    provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - serializeWithType
```
public void serializeWithType(Map.Entry<?,?> value,
                     com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,
                     SerializerProvider provider,
                     TypeSerializer typeSer)
                       throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: JsonSerializer
    Method that can be called to ask implementation to serialize values of type this serializer handles, using specified type serializer for embedding necessary type information.
    Default implementation will throw UnsupportedOperationException to indicate that proper type handling needs to be implemented.
    For simple datatypes written as a single scalar value (JSON String, Number, Boolean), implementation would look like:
```
  // note: method to call depends on whether this type is serialized as JSON scalar, object or Array!
  typeSer.writeTypePrefixForScalar(value, gen);
  serialize(value, gen, provider);
  typeSer.writeTypeSuffixForScalar(value, gen);
```
    and implementations for type serialized as JSON Arrays or Objects would differ slightly, as START-ARRAY>/END-ARRAY and START-OBJECT>/END-OBJECT pairs need to be properly handled with respect to serializing of contents.
    Overrides:
    
    serializeWithType in class JsonSerializer<Map.Entry<?,?>>
    
    Parameters:
    value - Value to serialize; can not be null.
    gen - Generator used to output resulting Json content
    provider - Provider that can be used to get serializers for serializing Objects value contains, if any.
    typeSer - Type serializer to use for including type information
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - serializeDynamic
```
protected void serializeDynamic(Map.Entry<?,?> value,
                    com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen,
                    SerializerProvider provider)
                         throws IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - serializeUsing
```
protected void serializeUsing(Map.Entry<?,?> value,
                  com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jgen,
                  SerializerProvider provider,
                  JsonSerializer<Object> ser)
                       throws IOException,
                              com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException
```
    Method called to serialize fields, when the value type is statically known, so that value serializer is passed and does not need to be fetched from provider.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
    
    com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException
  - _findAndAddDynamic
```
protected final JsonSerializer<Object> _findAndAddDynamic(PropertySerializerMap map,
                                        Class<?> type,

                                                   throws JsonMappingException

                                                   throws JsonMappingException
