JsonEncoder (Apache Avro Java 1.8.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.avro.io.Encoder
- - org.apache.avro.io.ParsingEncoder
  - - org.apache.avro.io.JsonEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Flushable, Parser.ActionHandler
```
public class JsonEncoder
extends ParsingEncoder
implements Parser.ActionHandler
```
An Encoder for Avro's JSON data encoding.
Construct using EncoderFactory.
JsonEncoder buffers output, and data may not appear on the output until Flushable.flush() is called.
JsonEncoder is not thread-safe.

  - writeArrayStart
```
public void writeArrayStart()
                     throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: Encoder
    Call this method to start writing an array. When starting to serialize an array, call Encoder.writeArrayStart(). Then, before writing any data for any item call Encoder.setItemCount(long) followed by a sequence of Encoder.startItem() and the item itself. The number of Encoder.startItem() should match the number specified in Encoder.setItemCount(long). When actually writing the data of the item, you can call any Encoder method (e.g., Encoder.writeLong(long)). When all items of the array have been written, call Encoder.writeArrayEnd(). As an example, let's say you want to write an array of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:
```
  out.writeArrayStart();
  out.setItemCount(list.size());
  for (Record r : list) {
    out.startItem();
    out.writeLong(r.longField);
    out.writeBoolean(r.boolField);
  }
  out.writeArrayEnd();
  
```
    Specified by:
    
    writeArrayStart in class Encoder
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - writeArrayEnd
```
public void writeArrayEnd()
                   throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: Encoder
    
    Call this method to finish writing an array. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for usage information.
    
    Specified by:
    
    writeArrayEnd in class Encoder
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - writeMapStart
```
public void writeMapStart()
                   throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: Encoder
    Call this to start a new map. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for details on usage. As an example of usage, let's say you want to write a map of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:
```
 out.writeMapStart();
 out.setItemCount(list.size());
 for (Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet()) {
   out.startItem();
   out.writeString(entry.getKey());
   out.writeLong(entry.getValue().longField);
   out.writeBoolean(entry.getValue().boolField);
 }
 out.writeMapEnd();
 
```
    Specified by:
    
    writeMapStart in class Encoder
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - writeMapEnd
```
public void writeMapEnd()
                 throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: Encoder
    
    Call this method to terminate the inner-most, currently-opened map. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for more details.

```
    Description copied from class: Encoder
    
    Start a new item of an array or map. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for usage information.
    
    Overrides:
    
    startItem in class ParsingEncoder
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - writeIndex
```
public void writeIndex(int unionIndex)
                throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: Encoder
    Call this method to write the tag of a union. As an example of usage, let's say you want to write a union, whose second branch is a record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:
```
 out.writeIndex(1);
 out.writeLong(record.longField);
 out.writeBoolean(record.boolField);
 
```
    Specified by:
    
    writeIndex in class Encoder
    
    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
