Make non-generic variant of Serializer

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

This is just an enhancement request - Serializer could have non-generic
Serialize and Deserialize methods that would require to type of the proto
class to be passed as parameter.

Changed state: Fixed

Where is this fixed? And what is the new signature? I don't seem to see it in 
v2.

In both v1 and v2, Serializer.NonGeneric

Note that in v1 the generic API is the primary; in v2 this reverses, so 
non-generic is the primary (although all existing APIs are forwarded as you 
would expect ).

In v2, you can also use TypeModel which is entirely non-generic; both 
Serializer and Serializer.NonGeneric are actually now just shortcuts to 
RuntimeTypeModel.Default, an instance of a TypeModel. This is not singleton, 
and additional parallel models are allowed if required.
