org.apache.juneau.marshall.marshaller.Prototext

Direct Known Subclasses:

PrototextR

public class Prototext
extends CharMarshaller

A pairing of a PrototextSerializer and PrototextParser into a single class with convenience to/of methods.

The general idea is to combine a single serializer and parser inside a simplified API for serializing and parsing POJOs.

Examples:

// Using instance. Prototext proto = new Prototext(); MyPojo myPojo = proto.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = proto.write(myPojo);

// Using DEFAULT instance. MyPojo myPojo = Prototext.DEFAULT.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = Prototext.DEFAULT.write(myPojo);

Example output (Map of name/age):

name: "Alice" age: 30

Complex (nested object + array):

name: "Alice" age: 30 address { street: "123 Main St" city: "Boston" state: "MA" } tags: ["a", "b", "c"]

// Using static shortcuts. MyPojo myPojo = Prototext.to(string, MyPojo.class); String string = Prototext.of(myPojo);

Field Details

DEFAULT

public static final Prototext DEFAULT

Default marshaller instance.

Constructor Details

Prototext

public Prototext()

Creates using default serializer and parser.

Prototext

public Prototext(org.apache.juneau.marshall.prototext.PrototextSerializer s,
 org.apache.juneau.marshall.prototext.PrototextParser p)

Creates with custom serializer and parser.

Parameters:

s - The serializer.

p - The parser.

Method Details

of

public static String of(Object object)
                 throws SerializeException

Serializes a POJO to a String using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.write(object).

Parameters:

object - The object to serialize.

Returns:

The serialized object.

Throws:

SerializeException - If a problem occurred trying to convert the output.

to

public static <T> T to(String input,
 Class<T> type)
                throws ParseException

Parses an input into the specified object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type).

Type Parameters:

T - The class type of the object being created.

Parameters:

input - The input.

type - The object type to create.

Returns:

The parsed object.

Throws:

ParseException - Malformed input encountered.

to

public static <T> T to(String input,
 Type type,
 Type... args)
                throws ParseException

Parses an input into the specified parameterized object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type, args).

Type Parameters:

T - The class type of the object to create.

Parameters:

input - The input.

type - The object type to create.

args - The type arguments of the class if it's a collection or map.

Returns:

The parsed object.

Throws:

ParseException - Malformed input encountered.

to

public static <T> T to(Reader input,
 Class<T> type)
                throws ParseException

Parses the contents of a Reader into the specified object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type) that catches any IOException from the underlying stream and rethrows it as an unchecked ParseException, so the caller is not burdened with a checked exception.

Type Parameters:

T - The class type of the object being created.

Parameters:

input - The input reader.

type - The object type to create.

Returns:

The parsed object.

Throws:

ParseException - Malformed input encountered or an I/O error occurred on the underlying stream.

to

public static <T> T to(Reader input,
 Type type,
 Type... args)
                throws ParseException

Parses the contents of a Reader into the specified parameterized object type using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.read(input, type, args) that catches any IOException from the underlying stream and rethrows it as an unchecked ParseException, so the caller is not burdened with a checked exception.

Type Parameters:

T - The class type of the object to create.

Parameters:

input - The input reader.

type - The object type to create.

args - The type arguments of the class if it's a collection or map.

Returns:

The parsed object.

Throws:

ParseException - Malformed input encountered or an I/O error occurred on the underlying stream.

of

public static void of(Object object,
 Writer output)
               throws SerializeException

Serializes a POJO to the specified Writer using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.write(object, output) that catches any IOException from the underlying stream and rethrows it as an unchecked SerializeException, so the caller is not burdened with a checked exception.

Parameters:

object - The object to serialize.

output - The writer to serialize to.

Throws:

SerializeException - If a problem occurred trying to convert the output or an I/O error occurred on the underlying stream.

toRecords

public static RecordReader toRecords(Object input)
                              throws IOException

Opens a low-level RecordReader cursor over the specified input using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.readRecords(input).

Parameters:

input - The input.

Returns:

A new RecordReader.

Throws:

IOException - If a problem occurred opening the underlying input.

ofRecords

public static RecordWriter ofRecords(Object output)
                              throws IOException

Opens a low-level RecordWriter cursor over the specified output using the DEFAULT marshaller.

A shortcut for calling DEFAULT.writeRecords(output).

Parameters:

output - The output.

Returns:

A new RecordWriter.

Throws:

IOException - If a problem occurred opening the underlying output.
