## Class SerializedLambda

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.invoke.SerializedLambda

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public final class SerializedLambda
      extends Object
      implements Serializable

  Serialized form of a lambda expression. The properties of this class represent the information that is present at the lambda factory site, including static metafactory arguments such as the identity of the primary functional interface method and the identity of the implementation method, as well as dynamic metafactory arguments such as values captured from the lexical scope at the time of lambda capture.

  Implementors of serializable lambdas, such as compilers or language runtime libraries, are expected to ensure that instances deserialize properly. One means to do so is to ensure that the `writeReplace` method returns an instance of `SerializedLambda`, rather than allowing default serialization to proceed.

  `SerializedLambda` has a `readResolve` method that looks for a (possibly private) static method called `$deserializeLambda$(SerializedLambda)` in the capturing class, invokes that with itself as the first argument, and returns the result. Lambda classes implementing `$deserializeLambda$` are responsible for validating that the properties of the `SerializedLambda` are consistent with a lambda actually captured by that class.

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Description copied from class: `Object`
      Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the `toString` method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

      The `toString` method for class `Object` returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character ``@`', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

      >      getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a string representation of the object.
