union-type-wrappers

You can get type-safe access to BinaryData union types by adding typed getters and setters for each union variant, such as getMyFieldAsString() or setMyField(MyModel value), directly over the BinaryData properties in your generated Java models.

Generated Java models use BinaryData for union fields because TypeSpec union types are codegen'd as BinaryData to accommodate multiple possible variants, requiring manual serialization without typed wrapper methods.

The best way to avoid manual serialization of BinaryData fields is to apply typed wrapper methods that automatically handle conversion for supported union variants like string, primitive, Azure JsonSerializable, and Stainless types.

Yes, the union-type-wrappers approach supports string, primitive, Azure JsonSerializable, and Stainless types as union variants, adding specific accessor methods for each type over the underlying BinaryData property.

You add typed getters and setters by applying the union-type-wrappers skill to the target BinaryData field in the generated Java model, which generates variant-specific methods like getMyFieldAsString() for ergonomic and type-safe interaction.

Yes, you can use typed accessors without altering the core code generator by overlaying typed getters and setters onto the existing generated Java models to interact with BinaryData union fields type-safely.
