Method Detail

setCodec

public void setCodec(ObjectCodec c)

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Setter that allows defining ObjectCodec associated with this parser, if any. Codec is used by JsonParser.readValueAs(Class) method (and its variants).

Specified by:

setCodec in class JsonParser

getCodec

public ObjectCodec getCodec()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Accessor for ObjectCodec associated with this parser, if any. Codec is used by JsonParser.readValueAs(Class) method (and its variants).

Specified by:

getCodec in class JsonParser

enable

public JsonParser enable(JsonParser.Feature f)

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method for enabling specified parser feature (check JsonParser.Feature for list of features)

Overrides:

enable in class JsonParser

disable

public JsonParser disable(JsonParser.Feature f)

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method for disabling specified feature (check JsonParser.Feature for list of features)

Overrides:

disable in class JsonParser

isEnabled

public boolean isEnabled(JsonParser.Feature f)

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method for checking whether specified JsonParser.Feature is enabled.

Overrides:

isEnabled in class JsonParser

setSchema

public void setSchema(FormatSchema schema)

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method to call to make this parser use specified schema. Method must be called before trying to parse any content, right after parser instance has been created. Note that not all parsers support schemas; and those that do usually only accept specific types of schemas: ones defined for data format parser can read.

If parser does not support specified schema, UnsupportedOperationException is thrown.

Overrides:

setSchema in class JsonParser

Parameters:

schema - Schema to use

canUseSchema

public boolean canUseSchema(FormatSchema schema)

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be used to verify that given schema can be used with this parser (using JsonParser.setSchema(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.FormatSchema)).

Overrides:

canUseSchema in class JsonParser

Parameters:

schema - Schema to check

Returns:

True if this parser can use given schema; false if not

version

public Version version()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Accessor for getting version of the core package, given a parser instance. Left for sub-classes to implement.

Specified by:

version in interface Versioned

Specified by:

version in class JsonParser

getInputSource

public Object getInputSource()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be used to get access to object that is used to access input being parsed; this is usually either InputStream or Reader, depending on what parser was constructed with. Note that returned value may be null in some cases; including case where parser implementation does not want to exposed raw source to caller. In cases where input has been decorated, object returned here is the decorated version; this allows some level of interaction between users of parser and decorator object.

In general use of this accessor should be considered as "last effort", i.e. only used if no other mechanism is applicable.

Overrides:

getInputSource in class JsonParser

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Closes the parser so that no further iteration or data access can be made; will also close the underlying input source if parser either owns the input source, or feature JsonParser.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_SOURCE is enabled. Whether parser owns the input source depends on factory method that was used to construct instance (so check JsonFactory for details, but the general idea is that if caller passes in closable resource (such as InputStream or Reader) parser does NOT own the source; but if it passes a reference (such as File or URL and creates stream or reader it does own them.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

isClosed

public boolean isClosed()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be called to determine whether this parser is closed or not. If it is closed, no new tokens can be retrieved by calling JsonParser.nextToken() (and the underlying stream may be closed). Closing may be due to an explicit call to JsonParser.close() or because parser has encountered end of input.

Specified by:

isClosed in class JsonParser

getCurrentToken

public JsonToken getCurrentToken()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Accessor to find which token parser currently points to, if any; null will be returned if none. If return value is non-null, data associated with the token is available via other accessor methods.

Specified by:

getCurrentToken in class JsonParser

Returns:

Type of the token this parser currently points to, if any: null before any tokens have been read, and after end-of-input has been encountered, as well as if the current token has been explicitly cleared.

hasCurrentToken

public boolean hasCurrentToken()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method for checking whether parser currently points to a token (and data for that token is available). Equivalent to check for parser.getCurrentToken() != null.

Specified by:

hasCurrentToken in class JsonParser

Returns:

True if the parser just returned a valid token via JsonParser.nextToken(); false otherwise (parser was just constructed, encountered end-of-input and returned null from JsonParser.nextToken(), or the token has been consumed)

getCurrentName

public String getCurrentName()
                      throws IOException,
                             JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be called to get the name associated with the current token: for JsonToken.FIELD_NAMEs it will be the same as what JsonParser.getText() returns; for field values it will be preceding field name; and for others (array values, root-level values) null.

Specified by:

getCurrentName in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getCurrentLocation

public JsonLocation getCurrentLocation()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that returns location of the last processed character; usually for error reporting purposes.

Specified by:

getCurrentLocation in class JsonParser

getParsingContext

public JsonStreamContext getParsingContext()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be used to access current parsing context reader is in. There are 3 different types: root, array and object contexts, with slightly different available information. Contexts are hierarchically nested, and can be used for example for figuring out part of the input document that correspond to specific array or object (for highlighting purposes, or error reporting). Contexts can also be used for simple xpath-like matching of input, if so desired.

Specified by:

getParsingContext in class JsonParser

clearCurrentToken

public void clearCurrentToken()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method called to "consume" the current token by effectively removing it so that JsonParser.hasCurrentToken() returns false, and JsonParser.getCurrentToken() null). Cleared token value can still be accessed by calling JsonParser.getLastClearedToken() (if absolutely needed), but usually isn't.

Method was added to be used by the optional data binder, since it has to be able to consume last token used for binding (so that it will not be used again).

Specified by:

clearCurrentToken in class JsonParser

getLastClearedToken

public JsonToken getLastClearedToken()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be called to get the last token that was cleared using JsonParser.clearCurrentToken(). This is not necessarily the latest token read. Will return null if no tokens have been cleared, or if parser has been closed.

Specified by:

getLastClearedToken in class JsonParser

overrideCurrentName

public void overrideCurrentName(String name)

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be used to change what is considered to be the current (field) name. May be needed to support non-JSON data formats or unusual binding conventions; not needed for typical processing.

Note that use of this method should only be done as sort of last resort, as it is a work-around for regular operation.

Specified by:

overrideCurrentName in class JsonParser

Parameters:

name - Name to use as the current name; may be null.

getText

public String getText()
               throws IOException,
                      JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method for accessing textual representation of the current token; if no current token (before first call to JsonParser.nextToken(), or after encountering end-of-input), returns null. Method can be called for any token type.

Specified by:

getText in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

hasTextCharacters

public boolean hasTextCharacters()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be used to determine whether calling of JsonParser.getTextCharacters() would be the most efficient way to access textual content for the event parser currently points to.

Default implementation simply returns false since only actual implementation class has knowledge of its internal buffering state. Implementations are strongly encouraged to properly override this method, to allow efficient copying of content by other code.

Specified by:

hasTextCharacters in class JsonParser

Returns:

True if parser currently has character array that can be efficiently returned via JsonParser.getTextCharacters(); false means that it may or may not exist

getTextCharacters

public char[] getTextCharacters()
                         throws IOException,
                                JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method similar to JsonParser.getText(), but that will return underlying (unmodifiable) character array that contains textual value, instead of constructing a String object to contain this information. Note, however, that:

• Textual contents are not guaranteed to start at index 0 (rather, call JsonParser.getTextOffset()) to know the actual offset
• Length of textual contents may be less than the length of returned buffer: call JsonParser.getTextLength() for actual length of returned content.

Note that caller MUST NOT modify the returned character array in any way -- doing so may corrupt current parser state and render parser instance useless.

The only reason to call this method (over JsonParser.getText()) is to avoid construction of a String object (which will make a copy of contents).

Specified by:

getTextCharacters in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getTextLength

public int getTextLength()
                  throws IOException,
                         JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Accessor used with JsonParser.getTextCharacters(), to know length of String stored in returned buffer.

Specified by:

getTextLength in class JsonParser

Returns:

Number of characters within buffer returned by JsonParser.getTextCharacters() that are part of textual content of the current token.

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getTextOffset

public int getTextOffset()
                  throws IOException,
                         JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Accessor used with JsonParser.getTextCharacters(), to know offset of the first text content character within buffer.

Specified by:

getTextOffset in class JsonParser

Returns:

Offset of the first character within buffer returned by JsonParser.getTextCharacters() that is part of textual content of the current token.

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getBigIntegerValue

public BigInteger getBigIntegerValue()
                              throws IOException,
                                     JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Numeric accessor that can be called when the current token is of type JsonToken.VALUE_NUMBER_INT and it can not be used as a Java long primitive type due to its magnitude. It can also be called for JsonToken.VALUE_NUMBER_FLOAT; if so, it is equivalent to calling JsonParser.getDecimalValue() and then constructing a BigInteger from that value.

Specified by:

getBigIntegerValue in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getBooleanValue

public boolean getBooleanValue()
                        throws IOException,
                               JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Convenience accessor that can be called when the current token is JsonToken.VALUE_TRUE or JsonToken.VALUE_FALSE.

Note: if the token is not of above-mentioned boolean types, an integer, but its value falls outside of range of Java long, a JsonParseException may be thrown to indicate numeric overflow/underflow.

Overrides:

getBooleanValue in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getByteValue

public byte getByteValue()
                  throws IOException,
                         JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Numeric accessor that can be called when the current token is of type JsonToken.VALUE_NUMBER_INT and it can be expressed as a value of Java byte primitive type. It can also be called for JsonToken.VALUE_NUMBER_FLOAT; if so, it is equivalent to calling JsonParser.getDoubleValue() and then casting; except for possible overflow/underflow exception.

Note: if the resulting integer value falls outside range of Java byte, a JsonParseException will be thrown to indicate numeric overflow/underflow.

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Numeric accessor that can be called when the current token is of type JsonToken.VALUE_NUMBER_FLOAT and it can be expressed as a Java double primitive type. It can also be called for JsonToken.VALUE_NUMBER_INT; if so, it is equivalent to calling JsonParser.getLongValue() and then casting; except for possible overflow/underflow exception.

Note: if the value falls outside of range of Java double, a JsonParseException will be thrown to indicate numeric overflow/underflow.

public Number getNumberValue()
                      throws IOException,
                             JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Generic number value accessor method that will work for all kinds of numeric values. It will return the optimal (simplest/smallest possible) wrapper object that can express the numeric value just parsed.

Specified by:

getNumberValue in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getEmbeddedObject

public Object getEmbeddedObject()
                         throws IOException,
                                JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Accessor that can be called if (and only if) the current token is JsonToken.VALUE_EMBEDDED_OBJECT. For other token types, null is returned.

Note: only some specialized parser implementations support embedding of objects (usually ones that are facades on top of non-streaming sources, such as object trees).

Specified by:

getEmbeddedObject in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getBinaryValue

public byte[] getBinaryValue(Base64Variant b64variant)
                      throws IOException,
                             JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that can be used to read (and consume -- results may not be accessible using other methods after the call) base64-encoded binary data included in the current textual JSON value. It works similar to getting String value via JsonParser.getText() and decoding result (except for decoding part), but should be significantly more performant.

Note that non-decoded textual contents of the current token are not guaranteed to be accessible after this method is called. Current implementation, for example, clears up textual content during decoding. Decoded binary content, however, will be retained until parser is advanced to the next event.

Specified by:

getBinaryValue in class JsonParser

Parameters:

b64variant - Expected variant of base64 encoded content (see Base64Variants for definitions of "standard" variants).

Returns:

Decoded binary data

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

getTokenLocation

public JsonLocation getTokenLocation()

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that return the starting location of the current token; that is, position of the first character from input that starts the current token.

Specified by:

getTokenLocation in class JsonParser

nextToken

public JsonToken nextToken()
                    throws IOException,
                           JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Main iteration method, which will advance stream enough to determine type of the next token, if any. If none remaining (stream has no content other than possible white space before ending), null will be returned.

Specified by:

nextToken in class JsonParser

Returns:

Next token from the stream, if any found, or null to indicate end-of-input

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

nextValue

public JsonToken nextValue()
                    throws IOException,
                           JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Iteration method that will advance stream enough to determine type of the next token that is a value type (including JSON Array and Object start/end markers). Or put another way, nextToken() will be called once, and if JsonToken.FIELD_NAME is returned, another time to get the value for the field. Method is most useful for iterating over value entries of JSON objects; field name will still be available by calling JsonParser.getCurrentName() when parser points to the value.

Specified by:

nextValue in class JsonParser

Returns:

Next non-field-name token from the stream, if any found, or null to indicate end-of-input (or, for non-blocking parsers, JsonToken.NOT_AVAILABLE if no tokens were available yet)

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException

skipChildren

public JsonParser skipChildren()
                        throws IOException,
                               JsonParseException

Description copied from class: JsonParser

Method that will skip all child tokens of an array or object token that the parser currently points to, iff stream points to JsonToken.START_OBJECT or JsonToken.START_ARRAY. If not, it will do nothing. After skipping, stream will point to matching JsonToken.END_OBJECT or JsonToken.END_ARRAY (possibly skipping nested pairs of START/END OBJECT/ARRAY tokens as well as value tokens). The idea is that after calling this method, application will call JsonParser.nextToken() to point to the next available token, if any.

Specified by:

skipChildren in class JsonParser

Throws:

IOException

JsonParseException
