internal class DefaultSerializer : IArgumentSerializer

The DefaultSerializer type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	DefaultSerializer	Default construction.

	Name	Description
	Recursions	The depth of recursions for serialization.

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetProperties	Loads affected properties from provided type>
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsProcessable	Validates whether a particular property can be processed.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Render	Renders the value into result.
	Serialize	Converts the argument into a string.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

	Name	Description
	CanExpand	Determines whether the argument can be expanded. (Defined by ArgumentExtension.)
	IsSystemType	Determines whether an argument is of a build-in system type. (Defined by ArgumentExtension.)

This class represents the default or in other words the fallback converter for any custom type.

Task of this class is the conversion of custom types into their flat string representation. Flat means in detail that property parsing is not done recursively. See enumeration below to get an impression about additional rules.  

• Each top-level object is surrounded by square brackets ([...]).
• Each affected property is formatted as combination of property name and property value (<label>: <value>).
• Each combination of property name and value is separated by a semicolon followed by one space (;).
• Strings as well as single characters are surrounded by double quotes ("some string").
• Values of properties of type Char that represent a control character are converted into their hexadecimal unicode representation (\u0000).
• Objects with a value of null are converted into the string null.
• Objects of type class are serialized by their own method ToString(). Additionally, such classes are put into surrounding square brackets ([...]).
