public Class AvroFactory

Default constructor used to create factory instances. Creation of a factory instance is a light-weight operation, but it is still a good idea to reuse limited number of factory instances (and quite often just a single instance): factories are used as context for storing some reused processing objects (such as symbol tables parsers use) and this reuse only works within context of a single factory instance.

Main factory method to use for constructing a builder for creating AvroFactory instances with different configuration. Builder is initialized to defaults and this is equivalent to calling builderWithNativeDecoder.

Main factory method to use for constructing a builder for creating AvroFactory instances with different configuration, initialized to use Apache Avro library codec for decoding content (instead of Jackson native decoder).

Overrides tools.jackson.core.base.BinaryTSFactory.canHandleBinaryNatively.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.canHandleBinaryNatively.

Introspection method that higher-level functionality may call to see whether underlying data format can read and write binary data natively; that is, embedded it as-is without using encodings such as Base64.

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.canParseAsync.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.canParseAsync.

Introspection method that can be used to check whether this factory can create non-blocking parsers: parsers that do not use blocking I/O abstractions but instead use a tools.jackson.core.async.NonBlockingInputFeeder.

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.canUseSchema.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.canUseSchema.

Method that can be used to quickly check whether given schema is something that parsers and/or generators constructed by this factory could use. Note that this means possible use, at the level of data format (i.e. schema is for same data format as parsers and generators this factory constructs); individual schema instances may have further usage restrictions.

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.copy.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.copy.

Method similar to snapshot(), but one that forces creation of actual new copy that does NOT share any state, even non-visible to calling code, such as symbol table reuse.

Implementation should be functionally equivalent to:

    factoryInstance.rebuild().build();

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.getFormatName.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.getFormatName.

Method that returns short textual id identifying format this factory supports.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.getFormatReadFeatureType.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.getFormatReadFeatureType.

Method for accessing kind of FormatFeature that a parser JsonParser produced by this factory would accept, if any; null returned if none.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.getFormatWriteFeatureType.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.getFormatWriteFeatureType.

Method for accessing kind of FormatFeature that a parser JsonGenerator produced by this factory would accept, if any; null returned if none.

Annotations

@Override

Checked whether specified parser feature is enabled.

Check whether specified generator feature is enabled.

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.rebuild.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.rebuild.

Method that can be used to create differently configured stream factories: it will create and return a Builder instance with exact settings of this stream factory.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.requiresPropertyOrdering.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.requiresPropertyOrdering.

Introspection method that higher-level functionality may call to see whether underlying data format requires a stable ordering of object properties or not. This is usually used for determining whether to force a stable ordering (like alphabetic ordering by name) if no ordering if explicitly specified.

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.snapshot.

Implements tools.jackson.core.util.Snapshottable.snapshot.

Instances are immutable so just return `this`

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract tools.jackson.core.TokenStreamFactory.version.

Implements tools.jackson.core.Versioned.version.

Doc from tools.jackson.core.Versioned.version.

Method called to detect version of the component that implements this interface; returned version should never be null, but may return specific "not available" instance (see Version for details).
