Method Detail
-
encode
public static byte[] encode(Slime slime)
Take a Slime object and serialize it into binary format.- Parameters:
slime
- the object which is to be serialized.- Returns:
- a new byte array with just the encoded slime.
-
decode
public static Slime decode(byte[] data)
Take binary data and deserialize it into a Slime object. The data is assumed to be the binary representation as if obtained by a call to the @ref encode() method. If the binary data can't be deserialized without problems the returned Slime object will instead only contain the three fields "partial_result" (contains anything successfully decoded before encountering problems), "offending_input" (containing any data that could not be deserialized) and "error_message" (a string describing the problem encountered).- Parameters:
data
- the data to be deserialized.- Returns:
- a new Slime object constructed from the data.

decode
public static Slime decode(byte[] data, int offset, int length)
Take binary data and deserialize it into a Slime object. The data is assumed to be the binary representation as if obtained by a call to the @ref encode() method. If the binary data can't be deserialized without problems the returned Slime object will instead only contain the three fields "partial_result" (contains anything successfully decoded before encountering problems), "offending_input" (containing any data that could not be deserialized) and "error_message" (a string describing the problem encountered).- Parameters:
data
- array containing the data to be deserialized.offset
- where in the array to start deserializing.length
- how many bytes the deserializer is allowed to consume.- Returns:
- a new Slime object constructed from the data.
