Enumeration Type Documentation

enum avro::SchemaResolution

Enumerator:

RESOLVE_NO_MATCH	The schemas definitely do not match.
RESOLVE_MATCH	The schemas match at a cursory level. For records and enums, this means the name is the same, but it does not necessarily mean that every symbol or field is an exact match.
RESOLVE_PROMOTABLE_TO_LONG	For primitives, the matching may occur if the type is promotable. This means that the writer matches reader if the writer's type is promoted the specified type.

Function Documentation

void avro::compileJsonSchema	(	std::istream &	is,
		ValidSchema &	schema
	)

Given a stream comtaining a JSON schema, compiles the schema to a ValidSchema object.

Throws if the schema cannot be compiled to a valid schema

bool avro::compileJsonSchema	(	std::istream &	is,
		ValidSchema &	schema,
		std::string &	error
	)

Non-throwing version of compileJsonSchema.

Returns:

True if no error, false if error (with the error string set)

std::auto_ptr<InputStream> avro::fileInputStream	(	const char *	filename,
		size_t	bufferSize = 8 *1024
	)

Returns a new InputStream whose contents come from the given file.

Data is read in chunks of given buffer size.

std::auto_ptr<OutputStream> avro::fileOutputStream	(	const char *	filename,
		size_t	bufferSize = 8 *1024
	)

Returns a new OutputStream whose contents would be stored in a file.

Data is written in chunks of given buffer size.

If there is a file with the given name, it is truncated and overwritten. If there is no file with the given name, it is created.

std::auto_ptr<InputStream> avro::memoryInputStream	(	const uint8_t *	data,
		size_t	len
	)

Returns a new InputStream, with the data from the given byte array.

It does not copy the data, the byte array should remain valid until the InputStream is used.

std::auto_ptr<InputStream> avro::memoryInputStream

(

const OutputStream &

source

)

Returns a new InputStream with the contents written into an outputstream.

The output stream must have been returned by an earlier call to memoryOutputStream(). The contents for the new input stream are the snapshot of the outputstream. One can construct any number of memory input stream from a single memory output stream.

template<typename Reader , typename T >

void avro::parse	(	Reader &	p,
		T &	val
	)

The main parse entry point function.

Takes a parser (either validating or plain) and the object that should receive the parsed data.

template<typename Reader , typename T >

void avro::parse	(	Reader &	p,
		T &	val,
		const boost::false_type &
	)

Type trait should be set to is_serializable in otherwise force the compiler to complain.

The remainder of the file includes default implementations for serializable types.

ResolvingDecoderPtr avro::resolvingDecoder	(	const ValidSchema &	writer,
		const ValidSchema &	reader,
		const DecoderPtr &	base
	)

Returns a decoder that decodes avro data from base written according to writerSchema and resolves against readerSchema.

The client uses the decoder as if the data were written using readerSchema. // FIXME: Handle out of order fields.

template<typename Writer , typename T >

void avro::serialize	(	Writer &	s,
		const T &	val
	)

The main serializer entry point function.

Takes a serializer (either validating or plain) and the object that should be serialized.
