Enum DecodingStrategy

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<DecodingStrategy>

    public enum DecodingStrategy
    extends Enum<DecodingStrategy>
    A list of one or more Serialization instances. This list (indirectly) defines a sequence of signatures that we attempt to match (in order) against a byte array header, and the associated charset we should use if a match is found.

    • Constructor Detail

      • DecodingStrategy

        private DecodingStrategy​(Serialization[] serializations)
        Creates a new charset with the given serializations.
        Parameters:
        serializations - The serializations.
    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static DecodingStrategy[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (DecodingStrategy c : DecodingStrategy.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static DecodingStrategy valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • getSerializations

        public Serialization[] getSerializations()
        Returns the receiver's serializations.
        Returns:
        The serializations.
      • getPrefixMatch

        public SignatureCharset getPrefixMatch​(byte[] data)
        Checks whether any of the signatures among the signature/charset pairs within the receiver's serializations matches the header of the given byte array, and returns the matching pair.
        Parameters:
        data - The byte array.
        Returns:
        The matching signature/charset pair, or null if no serialization contains a match. If more than one signature/charset pair is a match, the one with the longest signature is returned; and if there is more than one with the same length, the first such match is returned.
      • decode

        public String decode​(byte[] data)
                      throws I18NException
        Decodes the given byte array using the charset paired to a signature (among the signature/charset pairs within the receiver's serializations) that matches the array header, and returns the result.
        Parameters:
        data - The byte array, which may be null.
        Returns:
        The decoded string; it is null if the given byte array is null.
        Throws:
        I18NException - Thrown if no match can be found, or if the JVM does not support the charset of the matching signature/charset pair.
