Method Detail

parseMetadata

@Nonnull
public VcfMetadata parseMetadata()
                                    throws java.io.IOException

Parses metadata only. This method should be if only the metadata is needed; otherwise, parse() is preferred.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getMetadata

@Nullable
public VcfMetadata getMetadata()

Gets VCF metadata (if it has already been parsed).

parse

public void parse()
           throws java.io.IOException

Parses the entire VCF file (including the metadata). This is the preferred way to read a VCF file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

parseNextLine

public boolean parseNextLine()
                      throws java.io.IOException

Parses just the next data line available, also reading all the metadata if it has not been read. This is a specialized method; in general calling parse() to parse the entire stream is preferred.

Returns:

Whether another line may be available to read; false only if and only if this is the last line available

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - If the stream was already fully parsed

java.io.IOException
