- Method Detail
  - asByteArray
```
byte[] asByteArray()
```
    Returns the value as byte[]. This method copies the byte array.
  - asByteBuffer
```
java.nio.ByteBuffer asByteBuffer()
```
    Returns the value as ByteBuffer. Returned ByteBuffer is read-only. See also ByteBuffer.asReadOnlyBuffer(). This method doesn't copy the byte array as much as possible.
  - asString
```
java.lang.String asString()
```
    Returns the value as String. This method throws an exception if the value includes invalid UTF-8 byte sequence.
    
    Throws:
    
    MessageStringCodingException - If this value includes invalid UTF-8 byte sequence.
  - toString
```
java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns the value as String. This method replaces an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence with U+FFFD replacement character.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
