All Implemented Interfaces:

public class MessageUnpacker
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Closeable

MessagePack deserializer that converts binary into objects. You can use factory methods of MessagePack class or MessagePack.UnpackerConfig class to create an instance. To read values as statically-typed Java objects, there are two typical use cases.

One use case is to read objects as Value using unpackValue() method. A Value object contains type of the deserialized value as well as the value itself so that you can inspect type of the deserialized values later. You can repeat unpackValue() until hasNext() method returns false so that you can deserialize sequence of MessagePack values.

The other use case is to use getNextFormat() and MessageFormat.getValueType() methods followed by unpackXxx methods corresponding to returned type. Following code snipet is a typical application code:

     MessageUnpacker unpacker = MessagePack.newDefaultUnpacker(...);
     while(unpacker.hasNext()) {
         MessageFormat format = unpacker.getNextFormat();
         ValueType type = format.getValueType();
         int length;
         ExtensionTypeHeader extension;
         switch(type) {
             case NIL:
                 unpacker.unpackNil();
                 break;
             case BOOLEAN:
                 unpacker.unpackBoolean();
                 break;
             case INTEGER:
                 switch (format) {
                 case UINT64:
                     unpacker.unpackBigInteger();
                     break;
                 case INT64:
                 case UINT32:
                     unpacker.unpackLong();
                     break;
                 default:
                     unpacker.unpackInt();
                     break;
                 }
                 break;
             case FLOAT:
                 unpacker.unpackDouble();
                 break;
             case STRING:
                 unpacker.unpackString();
                 break;
             case BINARY:
                 length = unpacker.unpackBinaryHeader();
                 unpacker.readPayload(new byte[length]);
                 break;
             case ARRAY:
                 length = unpacker.unpackArrayHeader();
                 for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
                     readRecursively(unpacker);
                 }
                 break;
             case MAP:
                 length = unpacker.unpackMapHeader();
                 for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
                     readRecursively(unpacker);  // key
                     readRecursively(unpacker);  // value
                 }
                 break;
             case EXTENSION:
                 extension = unpacker.unpackExtensionTypeHeader();
                 unpacker.readPayload(new byte[extension.getLength()]);
                 break;
             }
         }
     }

Constructor Detail

MessageUnpacker

protected MessageUnpacker(MessageBufferInput in,
                          MessagePack.UnpackerConfig config)

Create an MessageUnpacker that reads data from the given MessageBufferInput. This method is available for subclasses to override. Use MessagePack.UnpackerConfig.newUnpacker method to instanciate this implementation.

Parameters:

in -

Method Detail

reset

public MessageBufferInput reset(MessageBufferInput in)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Replaces underlying input.

This method clears internal buffer, swaps the underlying input with the new given input, then returns the old input.

This method doesn't close the old input.

Parameters:

in - new input

Returns:

the old input

Throws:

java.io.IOException - never happens unless a subclass overrides this method

java.lang.NullPointerException - the given input is null

getTotalReadBytes

public long getTotalReadBytes()

Returns total number of read bytes.

This method returns total of amount of data consumed from the underlying input minus size of data remained still unused in the current internal buffer.

Calling reset(MessageBufferInput) resets this number to 0.

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()
                throws java.io.IOException

Returns true true if this unpacker has more elements. When this returns true, subsequent call to getNextFormat() returns an MessageFormat instance. If false, next getNextFormat() call will throw an MessageInsufficientBufferException.

Returns:

true if this unpacker has more elements to read

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getNextFormat

public MessageFormat getNextFormat()
                            throws java.io.IOException

Returns format of the next value.

Note that this method doesn't consume data from the internal buffer unlike the other unpack methods. Calling this method twice will return the same value.

To not throw MessageInsufficientBufferException, this method should be called only when hasNext() returns true.

Returns:

the next MessageFormat

Throws:

java.io.IOException - when underlying input throws IOException

MessageInsufficientBufferException - when the end of file reached, i.e. hasNext() == false.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

skipValue

public void skipValue(int count)

public void readPayload(java.nio.ByteBuffer dst)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Reads payload bytes of binary, extension, or raw string types.

This consumes bytes, copies them to the specified buffer, and moves forward position of the byte buffer until ByteBuffer.remaining() returns 0.

Parameters:

Throws:

java.io.IOException - when underlying input throws IOException

readPayload

public void readPayload(byte[] dst)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Reads payload bytes of binary, extension, or raw string types. This consumes specified amount of bytes into the specified byte array.

This method is equivalent to readPayload(dst, 0, dst.length).

Parameters:

Throws:

java.io.IOException - when underlying input throws IOException

readPayload

public byte[] readPayload(int length)
                   throws java.io.IOException
