Method Detail

readVInt

default long readVInt()
               throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readUnsignedVInt

default long readUnsignedVInt()
                       throws java.io.IOException

Think hard before opting for an unsigned encoding. Is this going to bite someone because some day they might need to pass in a sentinel value using negative numbers? Is the risk worth it to save a few bytes? Signed, not a fan of unsigned values in protocols and formats

Throws:

java.io.IOException
