Method Detail

marshal

public Value marshal(java.lang.Object value)

Marshal a runtime value into an immutable, serializable representation. To avoid wasting a lot of space and time by copying the same values repeatedly, the marshalled representations are cached in a weak hash map.

Note that marshalling loses object identity, since equal (but different) objects share the same representation, and the same object (at different times) may use different representations.
