Class GraphBinaryReader

java.lang.Object

org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.structure.io.binary.GraphBinaryReader

public class GraphBinaryReader
extends Object

Reads a value from a buffer using the TypeSerializer instances configured in the TypeSerializerRegistry.

This class exposes two different methods to read a value from a buffer: read(Buffer) and readValue(Buffer, Class, boolean):

• read() method expects a value in fully-qualified format, composed of {type_code}{type_info}{value_flag}{value}.
• readValue() method expects a {value_flag}{value} when a value is nullable and only {value} when a value is not nullable.

The GraphBinaryReader should be used to read a nested known type from a TypeSerializer. For example, if a POINT type is composed by two doubles representing the position in the x and y axes, a TypeSerializer for POINT type should use the provided GraphBinaryReader instance to read those two double values. As x and y values are expected to be provided as non-nullable doubles, the method readValue() should be used: readValue(buffer, Double.class, false)

Method Detail

readValue

public <T> T readValue(Buffer buffer,
                       Class<T> type,
                       boolean nullable)
                throws IOException

Reads a value for an specific type.

When the value is nullable, the reader expects the {value_flag}{value} to be contained in the buffer.

When the value is not nullable, the reader expects only the {value} to be contained in the buffer.

Throws:

IOException

read

public <T> T read(Buffer buffer)
           throws IOException

Reads the type code, information and value of a given buffer with fully-qualified format.

Throws:

IOException
