public void readFixed(byte[] bytes,
                      int start,
                      int len)
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Reads fixed sized binary object.

bytes - The buffer to store the contents being read.

public void skipFixed(int length)
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Throws:

skipFixed

protected void skipFixed()
                  throws IOException

Specified by:

Throws:

IOException

readEnum

public int readEnum()
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Reads an enumeration.

Specified by:

readEnum in class Decoder

Returns:

The enumeration's value.

Throws:

IOException

readArrayStart

public long readArrayStart()
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Reads and returns the size of the first block of an array. If this method returns non-zero, then the caller should read the indicated number of items, and then call Decoder.arrayNext() to find out the number of items in the next block. The typical pattern for consuming an array looks like:

   for(long i = in.readArrayStart(); i != 0; i = in.arrayNext()) {
     for (long j = 0; j < i; j++) {
       read next element of the array;
     }
   }
 

Specified by:

readArrayStart in class Decoder

Throws:

IOException

arrayNext

public long arrayNext()
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Processes the next block of an array and returns the number of items in the block and let's the caller read those items.

Specified by:

arrayNext in class Decoder

Throws:

IOException

skipArray

public long skipArray()
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Used for quickly skipping through an array. Note you can either skip the entire array, or read the entire array (with Decoder.readArrayStart()), but you can't mix the two on the same array. This method will skip through as many items as it can, all of them if possible. It will return zero if there are no more items to skip through, or an item count if it needs the client's help in skipping. The typical usage pattern is:

   for(long i = in.skipArray(); i != 0; i = i.skipArray()) {
     for (long j = 0; j < i; j++) {
       read and discard the next element of the array;
     }
   }
 

Note that this method can automatically skip through items if a byte-count is found in the underlying data, or if a schema has been provided to the implementation, but otherwise the client will have to skip through items itself.

Specified by:

skipArray in class Decoder

Throws:

IOException

readMapStart

public long readMapStart()
                  throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Reads and returns the size of the next block of map-entries. Similar to Decoder.readArrayStart(). As an example, let's say you want to read a map of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

   Map m = new HashMap();
   Record reuse = new Record();
   for(long i = in.readMapStart(); i != 0; i = in.readMapNext()) {
     for (long j = 0; j < i; j++) {
       String key = in.readString();
       reuse.intField = in.readInt();
       reuse.boolField = in.readBoolean();
       m.put(key, reuse);
     }
   }
 

Specified by:

readMapStart in class Decoder

Throws:

IOException

mapNext

public long mapNext()
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Processes the next block of map entries and returns the count of them. Similar to Decoder.arrayNext(). See Decoder.readMapStart() for details.

Specified by:

mapNext in class Decoder

Throws:

IOException

skipMap

public long skipMap()
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Support for quickly skipping through a map similar to Decoder.skipArray(). As an example, let's say you want to skip a map of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

   for(long i = in.skipMap(); i != 0; i = in.skipMap()) {
     for (long j = 0; j < i; j++) {
       in.skipString();  // Discard key
       in.readInt(); // Discard int-field of value
       in.readBoolean(); // Discard boolean-field of value
     }
   }
 

Specified by:

skipMap in class Decoder

Throws:

IOException

readIndex

public int readIndex()
              throws IOException

Description copied from class: Decoder

Reads the tag of a union written by Encoder.writeIndex(int).

Specified by:

readIndex in class Decoder

Throws:

IOException

doAction

public Symbol doAction(Symbol input,
                       Symbol top)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Parser.ActionHandler

Handle the action symbol top when the input is sought to be taken off the stack.

Specified by:

doAction in interface Parser.ActionHandler

Parameters:

input - The input symbol from the caller of advance

top - The symbol at the top the stack.

Returns:

null if advance() is to continue processing the stack. If not null the return value will be returned by advance().

Throws:

IOException
