Interface Parser<MessageType>

public interface Parser<MessageType>

Abstract interface for parsing Protocol Messages.

The implementation should be stateless and thread-safe.

All methods may throw InvalidProtocolBufferException. In the event of invalid data, like an encoding error, the cause of the thrown exception will be null. However, if an I/O problem occurs, an exception is thrown with an java.io.IOException cause.

Type Parameter

Name	Description
MessageType

Methods

parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream input)

public abstract MessageType parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream input)

Like #parseFrom(InputStream), but does not read until EOF. Instead, the size of message (encoded as a varint) is read first, then the message data. Use MessageLite#writeDelimitedTo(java.io.OutputStream) to write messages in this format.

Parameter

Name	Description
input	`InputStream`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType	Parsed message if successful, or null if the stream is at EOF when the method starts. Any other error (including reaching EOF during parsing) will cause an exception to be thrown.

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public abstract MessageType parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Like #parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream) but supporting extensions.

Parameters

Name	Description
input	`InputStream`
extensionRegistry	`ExtensionRegistryLite`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(byte[] data)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(byte[] data)

Parses data as a message of MessageType. This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream).

Parameter

MessageType

Exceptions

parseFrom(byte[] data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

parseFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len)

Parses data as a message of MessageType. This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream).

Parameters

off	`int`
len	`int`

Returns

Type	Description

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

parseFrom(ByteString data)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(ByteString data)

Parameter

Name	Description
data	`ByteString`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(ByteString data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(ByteString data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Parses data as a message of MessageType. This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite).

Parameters

Name	Description
data	`ByteString`
extensionRegistry	`ExtensionRegistryLite`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(CodedInputStream input)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(CodedInputStream input)

Parses a message of MessageType from the input.

Note: The caller should call CodedInputStream#checkLastTagWas(int) after calling this to verify that the last tag seen was the appropriate end-group tag, or zero for EOF.

Parameter

Name	Description
input	`CodedInputStream`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(CodedInputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(CodedInputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Like #parseFrom(CodedInputStream), but also parses extensions. The extensions that you want to be able to parse must be registered in extensionRegistry. Extensions not in the registry will be treated as unknown fields.

Parameters

Name	Description
input	`CodedInputStream`
extensionRegistry	`ExtensionRegistryLite`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(InputStream input)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(InputStream input)

Parse a message of MessageType from input. This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream). Note that this method always reads the entire input (unless it throws an exception). If you want it to stop earlier, you will need to wrap your input in some wrapper stream that limits reading. Or, use MessageLite#writeDelimitedTo(java.io.OutputStream) to write your message and #parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream) to read it.

Despite usually reading the entire input, this does not close the stream.

Parameter

Name	Description
input	`InputStream`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Parses a message of MessageType from input. This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite).

Parameters

Name	Description
input	`InputStream`
extensionRegistry	`ExtensionRegistryLite`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(ByteBuffer data)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(ByteBuffer data)

Parses data as a message of MessageType. This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream).

Parameter

Name	Description
data	`ByteBuffer`

Returns

Type	Description
MessageType

Exceptions

Type	Description
InvalidProtocolBufferException

parseFrom(ByteBuffer data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public abstract MessageType parseFrom(ByteBuffer data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)
