ByteArray

public ByteArray(byte[] data)

ByteArray

public ByteArray(byte[] data, Deque<Encoding<?,?>> encoding)

Method Details

getData

public byte[] getData()

Description copied from interface: EncodedData

Access to the underlying array of information.

Returns:

an int[], double[], byte[], or String[]

length

public int length()

Description copied from interface: EncodedData

The number of elements in the wrapped array.

Returns:

results of array.length

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

decode

public <T extends NumberArray<?>> T decode(ByteArrayEncoding<T> encoding)

decode

public StringArray decode(StringArrayEncoding encoding)

getEncoding

public Deque<Encoding<?,?>> getEncoding()

Description copied from interface: EncodedData

All encodings registered for this piece of EncodedData. May be empty. May contain only partial data: e.g. adding a ByteArrayEncoding to the list will request encoding by ByteArrayCodec, this method call will subsequently fill all fields of the requested Encoding to allow for decoding.

Specified by:

getEncoding in interface EncodedData<D>

Returns:

all associated Encoding instances

setEncoding

public void setEncoding(Deque<Encoding<?,?>> encoding)

Description copied from interface: EncodedData

Replace this encoding chain with a different one.

Specified by:

setEncoding in interface EncodedData<D>

Parameters:

encoding - the new encoding chain for this instance

hasNextDecodingStep

public boolean hasNextDecodingStep()

Description copied from interface: EncodedData

Convenience method to state whether the List returned by EncodedData.getEncoding() is not empty.

Specified by:

hasNextDecodingStep in interface EncodedData<D>

Returns:

true if encoding steps are registered and need to be resolved to access decoded data
