Avro.Generic.GenericReader< T > Class Template Reference

A general purpose reader of data from avro streams. This can optionally resolve if the reader's and writer's schemas are different. This class is a wrapper around DefaultReader and offers a little more type safety. The default reader has the flexibility to return any type of object for each read call because the Read() method is generic. This class on the other hand can only return a single type because the type is a parameter to the class. Any user defined extension should, however, be done to DefaultReader. This class is sealed.

This class on the other hand can only return a single type because the type is a parameter to the class. Any user defined extension should, however, be done to DefaultReader. This class is sealed.

Template Parameters

T

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Avro.Generic.GenericReader< T >.GenericReader ( Schema  writerSchema, Schema  readerSchema  )

inline

Constructs a generic reader for the given schemas using the DefaultReader. If the reader's and writer's schemas are different this class performs the resolution.

Parameters

writerSchema	The schema used while generating the data
readerSchema	The schema desired by the reader

Avro.Generic.GenericReader< T >.GenericReader ( DefaultReader  reader )

inline

Constructs a generic reader by directly using the given DefaultReader

Parameters

reader

The actual reader to use

Member Function Documentation

T Avro.Generic.GenericReader< T >.Read ( T  reuse, Decoder  decoder  )

inline

Read a datum. Traverse the schema, depth-first, reading all leaf values in the schema into a datum that is returned. If the provided datum is non-null it may be reused and returned.

Implements Avro.Generic.DatumReader< T >.
