Class CodedInputStream

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream

public final class CodedInputStream
extends java.lang.Object

Reads and decodes protocol message fields. This class contains two kinds of methods: methods that read specific protocol message constructs and field types (e.g. readTag() and readInt32()) and methods that read low-level values (e.g. readRawVarint32() and readRawBytes(int)). If you are reading encoded protocol messages, you should use the former methods, but if you are reading some other format of your own design, use the latter.

Method Detail

newInstance

public static CodedInputStream newInstance(java.io.InputStream input)
Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given InputStream.


newInstance

public static CodedInputStream newInstance(byte[] buf)
Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given byte array.


newInstance

public static CodedInputStream newInstance(byte[] buf,
                                           int off,
                                           int len)
Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given byte array slice.


readTag

public int readTag()
            throws java.io.IOException
Attempt to read a field tag, returning zero if we have reached EOF. Protocol message parsers use this to read tags, since a protocol message may legally end wherever a tag occurs, and zero is not a valid tag number.

Throws:
java.io.IOException

checkLastTagWas

public void checkLastTagWas(int value)
                     throws InvalidProtocolBufferException
Verifies that the last call to readTag() returned the given tag value. This is used to verify that a nested group ended with the correct end tag.

Throws:
InvalidProtocolBufferException - value does not match the last tag.

skipField

public boolean skipField(int tag)
                  throws java.io.IOException
Reads and discards a single field, given its tag value.

Returns:
false if the tag is an endgroup tag, in which case nothing is skipped. Otherwise, returns true.
Throws:
java.io.IOException

skipMessage

public void skipMessage()
                 throws java.io.IOException
Reads and discards an entire message. This will read either until EOF or until an endgroup tag, whichever comes first.

java.io.IOException

java.io.IOException

decodeZigZag32

public static int decodeZigZag32(int n)
Decode a ZigZag-encoded 32-bit value. ZigZag encodes signed integers into values that can be efficiently encoded with varint. (Otherwise, negative values must be sign-extended to 64 bits to be varint encoded, thus always taking 10 bytes on the wire.)

Parameters:
n - An unsigned 32-bit integer, stored in a signed int because Java has no explicit unsigned support.
Returns:
A signed 32-bit integer.

decodeZigZag64

public static long decodeZigZag64(long n)
Decode a ZigZag-encoded 64-bit value. ZigZag encodes signed integers into values that can be efficiently encoded with varint. (Otherwise, negative values must be sign-extended to 64 bits to be varint encoded, thus always taking 10 bytes on the wire.)

Parameters:
n - An unsigned 64-bit integer, stored in a signed int because Java has no explicit unsigned support.
Returns:
A signed 64-bit integer.

setRecursionLimit

public int setRecursionLimit(int limit)
Set the maximum message recursion depth. In order to prevent malicious messages from causing stack overflows, CodedInputStream limits how deeply messages may be nested. The default limit is 64.

Returns:
the old limit.

setSizeLimit

public int setSizeLimit(int limit)
Set the maximum message size. In order to prevent malicious messages from exhausting memory or causing integer overflows, CodedInputStream limits how large a message may be. The default limit is 64MB. You should set this limit as small as you can without harming your app's functionality. Note that size limits only apply when reading from an InputStream, not when constructed around a raw byte array (nor with ByteString.newCodedInput()).

If you want to read several messages from a single CodedInputStream, you could call resetSizeCounter() after each one to avoid hitting the size limit.

Returns:
the old limit.

resetSizeCounter

public void resetSizeCounter()
Resets the current size counter to zero (see setSizeLimit(int)).


pushLimit

public int pushLimit(int byteLimit)
              throws InvalidProtocolBufferException
Sets currentLimit to (current position) + byteLimit. This is called when descending into a length-delimited embedded message.

Returns:
the old limit.
Throws:
InvalidProtocolBufferException

popLimit

public void popLimit(int oldLimit)
Discards the current limit, returning to the previous limit.

Parameters:
oldLimit - The old limit, as returned by pushLimit.

getBytesUntilLimit

public int getBytesUntilLimit()
Returns the number of bytes to be read before the current limit. If no limit is set, returns -1.


isAtEnd

public boolean isAtEnd()
                throws java.io.IOException
Returns true if the stream has reached the end of the input. This is the case if either the end of the underlying input source has been reached or if the stream has reached a limit created using pushLimit(int).

Throws:
java.io.IOException

readRawByte

public byte readRawByte()
                 throws java.io.IOException
Read one byte from the input.

Throws:
InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
java.io.IOException

readRawBytes

public byte[] readRawBytes(int size)
                    throws java.io.IOException
Read a fixed size of bytes from the input.

Throws:
InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
java.io.IOException

skipRawBytes

public void skipRawBytes(int size)
                  throws java.io.IOException
Reads and discards size bytes.

Throws:
InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
java.io.IOException
