Detailed Description

Decoder is an interface implemented by every decoder capable of decoding Avro data.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void avro::Decoder::decodeBytes ( std::vector< uint8_t > &  value )

pure virtual

Decodes arbitray binary data from the current stream and puts it in value.

std::vector<uint8_t> avro::Decoder::decodeFixed ( size_t  n )

inline

Decodes fixed length binary from the current stream.

Parameters

[in]

n

The size (byte count) of the fixed being read.

Returns

The fixed data that has been read. The size of the returned vector is guaranteed to be equal to n.

Referenced by avro::codec_traits< boost::array< uint8_t, N > >::decode().

virtual void avro::Decoder::decodeFixed ( size_t  n, std::vector< uint8_t > &  value  )

pure virtual

Decodes a fixed from the current stream.

Parameters

[in]	n	The size (byte count) of the fixed being read.
[out]	value	The value that receives the fixed. The vector will be size-adjusted based on the fixed's size.

virtual void avro::Decoder::init ( InputStream &  is )

pure virtual

All future decoding will come from is, which should be valid until replaced by another call to init() or this Decoder is destructed.

virtual size_t avro::Decoder::skipArray ( )

pure virtual

Tries to skip an array.

If it can, it returns 0. Otherwise it returns the number of elements to be skipped. The client should skip the individual items. In such cases, skipArray is identical to arrayStart.

virtual size_t avro::Decoder::skipMap ( )

pure virtual

Tries to skip a map.

If it can, it returns 0. Otherwise it returns the number of elements to be skipped. The client should skip the individual items. In such cases, skipMap is identical to mapStart.
