Interface TokenEncoder

All Known Subinterfaces:

ComparableTokenEncoder

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractScalarEncoder, AbstractTokenEncoder

public interface TokenEncoder

Converts token values into a binary encoding. Implementations should extend AbstractTokenEncoder rather than implementing this interface directly.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	encode(BinaryBuilder buffer) Appends the encoded version of the current value of the source to the supplied buffer.
void	encodeField(BinaryBuilder buffer, int index) Appends the encoded version of the current value of the source to the supplied buffer.
void	setSource(TokenValued source) Sets the container holding values to be encoded.

Method Detail

setSource

void setSource(TokenValued source)

Sets the container holding values to be encoded. A reference to this container is held and accessed only when an encoding is requested.

Parameters:

source - the value container to encode

encode

void encode(BinaryBuilder buffer)

Appends the encoded version of the current value of the source to the supplied buffer.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer to which to append the encoding

encodeField

void encodeField(BinaryBuilder buffer,
                 int index)

Appends the encoded version of the current value of the source to the supplied buffer.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer to which to append the encoding

index - the index of the field to encode
