Method Detail

encode

public int encode(String s,
         OutputStream out,
         ByteArrayBuffer tmp)
           throws IOException

Encode the String onto the OutputStream. The temporary buffer is used to perform the encoding. The byte length of the encoding is written out using a packed long integer format followed by the coded bytes. This method is capable of writing out very long strings.

Parameters:

s - The character data.

out - The output stream.

tmp - The temporary buffer.

Throws:

IOException

encode1

public byte[] encode1(String s)

Encode a Unicode string.

Parameters:

s - The string.

Returns:

The encoded byte[].

decode

public int decode(InputStream in,
         StringBuilder out)
           throws IOException

Decode a String from the input stream. The result is appended into the caller's buffer. The caller is responsible for resetting the buffer as necessary.

Parameters:

in - The input stream.

out - The output buffer.

Throws:

IOException

decode1

public String decode1(DataInputBuffer in,
             StringBuilder tmp)
               throws IOException

Decode a String from the input stream.

Parameters:

in - The input stream.

tmp - The temporary buffer used to decode the data. The buffer will be reset automatically by this method.

Returns:

The decoded data.

Throws:

IOException
