public Class JsonEncoder

Reconfigures this JsonEncoder to use the output stream provided.

If the OutputStream provided is null, a NullPointerException is thrown.

Otherwise, this JsonEncoder will flush its current output and then reconfigure its output to use a default UTF8 JsonGenerator that writes to the provided OutputStream.

Parameters

out:OutputStream

The OutputStream to direct output to. Cannot be null.

Returns:JsonEncoder

this JsonEncoder

Exceptions

NullPointerException:

if out is null

Implements org.apache.avro.io.parsing.Parser.ActionHandler.doAction.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.parsing.Parser.ActionHandler.doAction.

Handle the action symbol top when the input is sought to be taken off the stack.

Parameters

input:Symbol

The input symbol from the caller of advance

top:Symbol

The symbol at the top the stack.

Returns:Symbol

null if advance() is to continue processing the stack. If not null the return value will be returned by advance().

Overrides org.apache.avro.io.ParsingEncoder.startItem.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.startItem.

Start a new item of an array or map. See writeArrayStart for usage information.

@Override

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeArrayEnd.

Call this method to finish writing an array. See writeArrayStart for usage information.

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeArrayStart.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeArrayStart.

Call this method to start writing an array. When starting to serialize an array, call writeArrayStart. Then, before writing any data for any item call setItemCount followed by a sequence of startItem() and the item itself. The number of startItem() should match the number specified in setItemCount. When actually writing the data of the item, you can call any Encoder method (e.g., writeLong). When all items of the array have been written, call writeArrayEnd. As an example, let's say you want to write an array of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

out.writeArrayStart();
out.setItemCount(list.size());
for (Record r : list) {
  out.startItem();
  out.writeLong(r.longField);
  out.writeBoolean(r.boolField);
}
out.writeArrayEnd();

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeFixed.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeFixed.

Writes a fixed size binary object.

Parameters

bytes:byte[]

Write a float.

@Override

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeIndex.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeIndex.

Call this method to write the tag of a union. As an example of usage, let's say you want to write a union, whose second branch is a record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

out.writeIndex(1);
out.writeLong(record.longField);
out.writeBoolean(record.boolField);

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeInt.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeInt.

Writes a 32-bit integer.

@Override

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeMapEnd.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeMapEnd.

Call this method to terminate the inner-most, currently-opened map. See writeArrayStart for more details.

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeMapStart.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeMapStart.

Call this to start a new map. See writeArrayStart for details on usage. As an example of usage, let's say you want to write a map of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

out.writeMapStart();
out.setItemCount(list.size());
for (Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet()) {
  out.startItem();
  out.writeString(entry.getKey());
  out.writeLong(entry.getValue().longField);
  out.writeBoolean(entry.getValue().boolField);
}
out.writeMapEnd();

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeNull.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeNull.

"Writes" a null value. (Doesn't actually write anything, but advances the state of the parser if this class is stateful.)

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeString.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeString.

Write a Unicode character string.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeString.

Doc from org.apache.avro.io.Encoder.writeString.

Write a Unicode character string. The default implementation converts the String to a org.apache.avro.util.Utf8. Some Encoder implementations may want to do something different as a performance optimization.
