Class StringTranslatorFactory

java.lang.Object

com.googlecode.objectify.impl.translate.ValueTranslatorFactory<String,Object>

com.googlecode.objectify.impl.translate.StringTranslatorFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

TranslatorFactory<String,Object>

public class StringTranslatorFactory
extends ValueTranslatorFactory<String,Object>

Knows how to convert Strings. Datastore representation might be String or it might be Text. Will work with anything that's in the datastore just by calling toString() on what we get back; convenient for converting between say Number and the String representation, possibly dangerous otherwise.

Field Details

MAX_STRING_BYTES

public static final int MAX_STRING_BYTES

Maximum number of BYTES we can store in a String before we have to convert to Text.

Constant Field Values

SAFE_STRING_CHARS

public static final int SAFE_STRING_CHARS

Google isn't explicit that UTF-8 encoding is used, but it's a safe assumption. Worst case is 4 bytes per character. So if we have more than that number of chars, we have to convert to UTF-8 to test the actual length.
