Class CharsetEncoder


  • public abstract class CharsetEncoder
extends Object
    Transforms a sequence of 16-bit Java characters to a byte sequence in some encoding.

    The input character sequence is a CharBuffer and the output byte sequence is a ByteBuffer.

    Use encode(CharBuffer) to encode an entire CharBuffer to a new ByteBuffer, or encode(CharBuffer, ByteBuffer, boolean) for more control. When using the latter method, the entire operation proceeds as follows:

    1. Invoke reset() to reset the encoder if this instance has been used before.
    2. Invoke encode with the endOfInput parameter set to false until additional input is not needed (as signaled by the return value). The input buffer must be filled and the output buffer must be flushed between invocations.

      The encode method will convert as many characters as possible, and the process won't stop until the input buffer has been exhausted, the output buffer has been filled, or an error has occurred. A CoderResult instance will be returned to indicate the current state. The caller should fill the input buffer, flush the output buffer, or recovering from an error and try again, accordingly.

    3. Invoke encode for the last time with endOfInput set to true.
    4. Invoke flush(ByteBuffer) to flush remaining output.

    There are two classes of encoding error: malformed input signifies that the input character sequence is not legal, while unmappable character signifies that the input is legal but cannot be mapped to a byte sequence (because the charset cannot represent the character, for example).

    Errors can be handled in three ways. The default is to report the error to the caller. The alternatives are to ignore the error or replace the problematic input with the byte sequence returned by replacement(). The disposition for each of the two kinds of error can be set independently using the onMalformedInput(java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction) and onUnmappableCharacter(java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction) methods.

    The default replacement bytes depend on the charset but can be overridden using the replaceWith(byte[]) method.

    This class is abstract and encapsulates many common operations of the encoding process for all charsets. Encoders for a specific charset should extend this class and need only to implement the encodeLoop method for basic encoding. If a subclass maintains internal state, it should also override the implFlush and implReset methods.

    This class is not thread-safe.

    • Method Detail

      • averageBytesPerChar

        public final float averageBytesPerChar()
        Returns the average number of bytes created by this encoder for a single input character.

      • canEncode

        public boolean canEncode(char c)
        Checks if the given character can be encoded by this encoder.

        Note that this method can change the internal status of this encoder, so it should not be called when another encoding process is ongoing, otherwise it will throw an IllegalStateException.

        This method can be overridden for performance improvement.

        Parameters:
        c - the given encoder.
        Returns:
        true if given character can be encoded by this encoder.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if another encode process is ongoing so that the current internal status is neither RESET or FLUSH.

      • canEncode

        public boolean canEncode(CharSequence sequence)
        Checks if a given CharSequence can be encoded by this encoder. Note that this method can change the internal status of this encoder, so it should not be called when another encode process is ongoing, otherwise it will throw an IllegalStateException. This method can be overridden for performance improvement.
        Parameters:
        sequence - the given CharSequence.
        Returns:
        true if the given CharSequence can be encoded by this encoder.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if current internal status is neither RESET or FLUSH.

      • charset

        public final Charset charset()
        Returns the Charset which this encoder uses.

      • encode

        public final ByteBuffer encode(CharBuffer in)
                        throws CharacterCodingException
        This is a facade method for the encoding operation.

        This method encodes the remaining character sequence of the given character buffer into a new byte buffer. This method performs a complete encoding operation, resets at first, then encodes, and flushes at last.

        This method should not be invoked if another encode operation is ongoing.

        Parameters:
        in - the input buffer.
        Returns:
        a new ByteBuffer containing the bytes produced by this encoding operation. The buffer's limit will be the position of the last byte in the buffer, and the position will be zero.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if another encoding operation is ongoing.
        MalformedInputException - if an illegal input character sequence for this charset is encountered, and the action for malformed error is CodingErrorAction.REPORT
        UnmappableCharacterException - if a legal but unmappable input character sequence for this charset is encountered, and the action for unmappable character error is CodingErrorAction.REPORT. Unmappable means the Unicode character sequence at the input buffer's current position cannot be mapped to a equivalent byte sequence.
        CharacterCodingException - if other exception happened during the encode operation.

      • encode

        public final CoderResult encode(CharBuffer in,
                 ByteBuffer out,
                 boolean endOfInput)
        Encodes characters starting at the current position of the given input buffer, and writes the equivalent byte sequence into the given output buffer from its current position.

        The buffers' position will be changed with the reading and writing operation, but their limits and marks will be kept intact.

        A CoderResult instance will be returned according to following rules:

        • A malformed input result indicates that some malformed input error was encountered, and the erroneous characters start at the input buffer's position and their number can be got by result's length. This kind of result can be returned only if the malformed action is CodingErrorAction.REPORT.
        • CoderResult.UNDERFLOW indicates that as many characters as possible in the input buffer have been encoded. If there is no further input and no characters left in the input buffer then this task is complete. If this is not the case then the client should call this method again supplying some more input characters.
        • CoderResult.OVERFLOW indicates that the output buffer has been filled, while there are still some characters remaining in the input buffer. This method should be invoked again with a non-full output buffer.
        • A unmappable character result indicates that some unmappable character error was encountered, and the erroneous characters start at the input buffer's position and their number can be got by result's length. This kind of result can be returned only on CodingErrorAction.REPORT.

        The endOfInput parameter indicates if the invoker can provider further input. This parameter is true if and only if the characters in the current input buffer are all inputs for this encoding operation. Note that it is common and won't cause an error if the invoker sets false and then has no more input available, while it may cause an error if the invoker always sets true in several consecutive invocations. This would make the remaining input to be treated as malformed input. input.

        This method invokes the encodeLoop method to implement the basic encode logic for a specific charset.

        Parameters:
        in - the input buffer.
        out - the output buffer.
        endOfInput - true if all the input characters have been provided.
        Returns:
        a CoderResult instance indicating the result.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if the encoding operation has already started or no more input is needed in this encoding process.
        CoderMalfunctionError - If the encodeLoop method threw an BufferUnderflowException or BufferUnderflowException.

      • encodeLoop

        protected abstract CoderResult encodeLoop(CharBuffer in,
                     ByteBuffer out)
        Encodes characters into bytes. This method is called by encode.

        This method will implement the essential encoding operation, and it won't stop encoding until either all the input characters are read, the output buffer is filled, or some exception is encountered. Then it will return a CoderResult object indicating the result of the current encoding operation. The rule to construct the CoderResult is the same as for encode. When an exception is encountered in the encoding operation, most implementations of this method will return a relevant result object to the encode method, and some performance optimized implementation may handle the exception and implement the error action itself.

        The buffers are scanned from their current positions, and their positions will be modified accordingly, while their marks and limits will be intact. At most in.remaining() characters will be read, and out.remaining() bytes will be written.

        Note that some implementations may pre-scan the input buffer and return CoderResult.UNDERFLOW until it receives sufficient input.

        Parameters:
        in - the input buffer.
        out - the output buffer.
        Returns:
        a CoderResult instance indicating the result.

      • flush

        public final CoderResult flush(ByteBuffer out)
        Flushes this encoder.

        This method will call implFlush. Some encoders may need to write some bytes to the output buffer when they have read all input characters, subclasses can overridden implFlush to perform writing action.

        The maximum number of written bytes won't larger than out.remaining(). If some encoder wants to write more bytes than the output buffer's available remaining space, then CoderResult.OVERFLOW will be returned, and this method must be called again with a byte buffer that has free space. Otherwise this method will return CoderResult.UNDERFLOW, which means one encoding process has been completed successfully.

        During the flush, the output buffer's position will be changed accordingly, while its mark and limit will be intact.

        Parameters:
        out - the given output buffer.
        Returns:
        CoderResult.UNDERFLOW or CoderResult.OVERFLOW.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if this encoder hasn't read all input characters during one encoding process, which means neither after calling encode(CharBuffer) nor after calling encode(CharBuffer, ByteBuffer, boolean) with true for the last boolean parameter.

      • implReplaceWith

        protected void implReplaceWith(byte[] newReplacement)

      • isLegalReplacement

        public boolean isLegalReplacement(byte[] replacement)
        Checks if the given argument is legal as this encoder's replacement byte array. The given byte array is legal if and only if it can be decode into sixteen bits Unicode characters. This method can be overridden for performance improvement.
        Parameters:
        replacement - the given byte array to be checked.
        Returns:
        true if the the given argument is legal as this encoder's replacement byte array.

      • malformedInputAction

        public CodingErrorAction malformedInputAction()
