Class CharsetDecoder

java.lang.Object sample code for java.lang.Object definition code for java.lang.Object 
  extended by java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder

public abstract class CharsetDecoder
extends Object sample code for java.lang.Object definition code for java.lang.Object

An engine that can transform a sequence of bytes in a specific charset into a sequence of sixteen-bit Unicode characters.

The input byte sequence is provided in a byte buffer or a series of such buffers. The output character sequence is written to a character buffer or a series of such buffers. A decoder should always be used by making the following sequence of method invocations, hereinafter referred to as a decoding operation:

  1. Reset the decoder via the reset sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.reset() definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.reset() method, unless it has not been used before;

  2. Invoke the decode sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) method zero or more times, as long as additional input may be available, passing false for the endOfInput argument and filling the input buffer and flushing the output buffer between invocations;

  3. Invoke the decode sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) method one final time, passing true for the endOfInput argument; and then

  4. Invoke the flush sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.flush(java.nio.CharBuffer) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.flush(java.nio.CharBuffer) method so that the decoder can flush any internal state to the output buffer.

Each invocation of the decode sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) method will decode as many bytes as possible from the input buffer, writing the resulting characters to the output buffer. The decode sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) method returns when more input is required, when there is not enough room in the output buffer, or when a decoding error has occurred. In each case a CoderResult sample code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult definition code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult object is returned to describe the reason for termination. An invoker can examine this object and fill the input buffer, flush the output buffer, or attempt to recover from a decoding error, as appropriate, and try again.

There are two general types of decoding errors. If the input byte sequence is not legal for this charset then the input is considered malformed. If the input byte sequence is legal but cannot be mapped to a valid Unicode character then an unmappable character has been encountered.

How a decoding error is handled depends upon the action requested for that type of error, which is described by an instance of the CodingErrorAction sample code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction definition code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction class. The possible error actions are to ignore sample code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.IGNORE definition code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.IGNORE the erroneous input, report sample code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.REPORT definition code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.REPORT the error to the invoker via the returned CoderResult sample code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult definition code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult object, or replace sample code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.REPLACE definition code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.REPLACE the erroneous input with the current value of the replacement string. The replacement has the initial value "\uFFFD"; its value may be changed via the replaceWith sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.replaceWith(java.lang.String) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.replaceWith(java.lang.String) method.

The default action for malformed-input and unmappable-character errors is to report sample code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.REPORT definition code for java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction.REPORT them. The malformed-input error action may be changed via the onMalformedInput sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.onMalformedInput(java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.onMalformedInput(java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction) method; the unmappable-character action may be changed via the onUnmappableCharacter sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.onUnmappableCharacter(java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.onUnmappableCharacter(java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction) method.

This class is designed to handle many of the details of the decoding process, including the implementation of error actions. A decoder for a specific charset, which is a concrete subclass of this class, need only implement the abstract decodeLoop sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decodeLoop(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decodeLoop(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer) method, which encapsulates the basic decoding loop. A subclass that maintains internal state should, additionally, override the flush sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.flush(java.nio.CharBuffer) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.flush(java.nio.CharBuffer) and reset sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.reset() definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.reset() methods.

Instances of this class are not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

decode sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer, boolean) 

public final CoderResult sample code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult definition code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult  decode(ByteBuffer sample code for java.nio.ByteBuffer definition code for java.nio.ByteBuffer  in,
                                CharBuffer sample code for java.nio.CharBuffer definition code for java.nio.CharBuffer  out,
                                boolean endOfInput)
Decodes as many bytes as possible from the given input buffer, writing the results to the given output buffer.

The buffers are read from, and written to, starting at their current positions. At most in.remaining() sample code for java.nio.Buffer.remaining() definition code for java.nio.Buffer.remaining() bytes will be read and at most out.remaining() sample code for java.nio.Buffer.remaining() definition code for java.nio.Buffer.remaining() characters will be written. The buffers' positions will be advanced to reflect the bytes read and the characters written, but their marks and limits will not be modified.

In addition to reading bytes from the input buffer and writing characters to the output buffer, this method returns a CoderResult sample code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult definition code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult object to describe its reason for termination:

In any case, if this method is to be reinvoked in the same decoding operation then care should be taken to preserve any bytes remaining in the input buffer so that they are available to the next invocation.

The endOfInput parameter advises this method as to whether the invoker can provide further input beyond that contained in the given input buffer. If there is a possibility of providing additional input then the invoker should pass false for this parameter; if there is no possibility of providing further input then the invoker should pass true. It is not erroneous, and in fact it is quite common, to pass false in one invocation and later discover that no further input was actually available. It is critical, however, that the final invocation of this method in a sequence of invocations always pass true so that any remaining undecoded input will be treated as being malformed.

This method works by invoking the decodeLoop sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decodeLoop(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decodeLoop(java.nio.ByteBuffer, java.nio.CharBuffer) method, interpreting its results, handling error conditions, and reinvoking it as necessary.

Parameters:
in - The input byte buffer
out - The output character buffer
endOfInput - true if, and only if, the invoker can provide no additional input bytes beyond those in the given buffer
Returns:
A coder-result object describing the reason for termination
Throws:
IllegalStateException sample code for java.lang.IllegalStateException definition code for java.lang.IllegalStateException - If a decoding operation is already in progress and the previous step was an invocation neither of the reset sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.reset() definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.reset() method, nor of this method with a value of false for the endOfInput parameter, nor of this method with a value of true for the endOfInput parameter but a return value indicating an incomplete decoding operation
CoderMalfunctionError sample code for java.nio.charset.CoderMalfunctionError definition code for java.nio.charset.CoderMalfunctionError - If an invocation of the decodeLoop method threw an unexpected exception

flush sample code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.flush(java.nio.CharBuffer) definition code for java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.flush(java.nio.CharBuffer) 

public final CoderResult sample code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult definition code for java.nio.charset.CoderResult  flush(CharBuffer
