SerializableFunction (com.gengoai:mango 1.1-SNAPSHOT API)

Type Parameters:

T - Functional parameter

R - Functional parameter

All Superinterfaces:

Function<T,R>, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

Funcs.When, StringFunctions, Switch

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@FunctionalInterface
public interface SerializableFunction<T,R>
extends Function<T,R>, Serializable
```
Version of Function that is serializable
