@NotNull
@NotNull ConfigurateComponentSerializer.Builder scalarSerializer(@NotNull
                                                                 @NotNull ComponentSerializer<Component,?,String> stringSerializer)
```
    Set the serializer to use when reading Components.
    While the created serializer will always be able to read and write Components in their object structure, for configuration purposes it is often easier to work with Components as Strings using one of a variety of available representations.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stringSerializer - string serializer to use
    
    Returns:
    
    this builder

  - outputStringComponents
```
@NotNull
@NotNull ConfigurateComponentSerializer.Builder outputStringComponents(boolean stringComponents)
```
    If the scalarSerializer(ComponentSerializer) is set, output components as serialized strings rather than following an object structure.
    By default, Components are serialized in object form, and deserialized in either format based on the configured scalarSerializer(ComponentSerializer).
    
    Parameters:
    
    stringComponents - Whether to output as strings
    
    Returns:
    
    this builder
