All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<IoBuffer>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractIoBuffer, IoBufferWrapper
```
public abstract class IoBuffer
extends Object
implements Comparable<IoBuffer>
```
A byte buffer used by MINA applications.
This is a replacement for ByteBuffer. Please refer to ByteBuffer documentation for preliminary usage. MINA does not use NIO ByteBuffer directly for two reasons:
- It doesn't provide useful getters and putters such as fill, get/putString, and get/putAsciiInt() enough.
- It is difficult to write variable-length data due to its fixed capacity
Allocation

You can allocate a new heap buffer.
```
     IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate(1024, false);
   
```
You can also allocate a new direct buffer:
```
     IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate(1024, true);
   
```
or you can set the default buffer type.
```
     // Allocate heap buffer by default.
     IoBuffer.setUseDirectBuffer(false);
 
     // A new heap buffer is returned.
     IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate(1024);
   
```
Wrapping existing NIO buffers and arrays

This class provides a few wrap(...) methods that wraps any NIO buffers and byte arrays.
AutoExpand

Writing variable-length data using NIO ByteBuffers is not really easy, and it is because its size is fixed at allocation. IoBuffer introduces the autoExpand property. If autoExpand property is set to true, you never get a BufferOverflowException or an IndexOutOfBoundsException (except when index is negative). It automatically expands its capacity. For instance:
```
     String greeting = messageBundle.getMessage("hello");
     IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate(16);
     // Turn on autoExpand (it is off by default)
     buf.setAutoExpand(true);
     buf.putString(greeting, utf8encoder);
   
```
The underlying ByteBuffer is reallocated by IoBuffer behind the scene if the encoded data is larger than 16 bytes in the example above. Its capacity will double, and its limit will increase to the last position the string is written.
AutoShrink

You might also want to decrease the capacity of the buffer when most of the allocated memory area is not being used. IoBuffer provides autoShrink property to take care of this issue. If autoShrink is turned on, IoBuffer halves the capacity of the buffer when compact() is invoked and only 1/4 or less of the current capacity is being used.
You can also call the shrink() method manually to shrink the capacity of the buffer.
The underlying ByteBuffer is reallocated by the IoBuffer behind the scene, and therefore buf() will return a different ByteBuffer instance once capacity changes. Please also note that the compact() method or the shrink() method will not decrease the capacity if the new capacity is less than the minimumCapacity() of the buffer.
Derived Buffers

Derived buffers are the buffers which were created by the duplicate(), slice(), or asReadOnlyBuffer() methods. They are useful especially when you broadcast the same messages to multiple IoSessions. Please note that the buffer derived from and its derived buffers are not auto-expandable nor auto-shrinkable. Trying to call setAutoExpand(boolean) or setAutoShrink(boolean) with true parameter will raise an IllegalStateException.
Changing Buffer Allocation Policy

The IoBufferAllocator interface lets you override the default buffer management behavior. There are two allocators provided out-of-the-box:
- SimpleBufferAllocator (default)
- CachedBufferAllocator
You can implement your own allocator and use it by calling setAllocator(IoBufferAllocator).

public abstract IoBuffer capacity(int newCapacity)
```
    Increases the capacity of this buffer. If the new capacity is less than or equal to the current capacity, this method returns the original buffer. If the new capacity is greater than the current capacity, the buffer is reallocated while retaining the position, limit, mark and the content of the buffer.
    Note that the IoBuffer is replaced, it's not copied.

```
  Initial buffer :
   
   0       L          C
  +--------+----------+
  |XXXXXXXX|          |
  +--------+----------+

    Parameters:
    autoShrink - The flag value to set
    
    Returns:

  - expand
```
public abstract IoBuffer expand(int expectedRemaining)
```
    Changes the capacity and limit of this buffer so this buffer get the specified expectedRemaining room from the current position. This method works even if you didn't set autoExpand to true.
    Assuming a buffer contains N bytes, its position is P and its current capacity is C, here are the resulting buffer if we call the expand method with a expectedRemaining value V :
```
  Initial buffer :
   
   0       L          C

 equals to the capacity.

```
    Note that the expecting remaining bytes starts at the current position. In all those examples, the position is P.
    Parameters:
    position - The starting position from which we want to define a remaining number of bytes
    expectedRemaining - The expected remaining bytes in the buffer
    
    Returns:
    The modified IoBuffer instance
  - shrink
```
public abstract IoBuffer shrink()
```
    Changes the capacity of this buffer so this buffer occupies as less memory as possible while retaining the position, limit and the buffer content between the position and limit.
    The capacity of the buffer never becomes less than minimumCapacity()
    . The mark is discarded once the capacity changes.
    Typically, a call to this method tries to remove as much unused bytes as possible, dividing by two the initial capacity until it can't without obtaining a new capacity lower than the minimumCapacity(). For instance, if the limit is 7 and the capacity is 36, with a minimum capacity of 8, shrinking the buffer will left a capacity of 9 (we go down from 36 to 18, then from 18 to 9).
