Class ParsingCodec<T>

java.lang.Object

com.datastax.driver.core.TypeCodec<T>

com.datastax.driver.extras.codecs.ParsingCodec<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The Java type this codec serializes from and deserializes to.

Direct Known Subclasses:

EnumNameCodec

public abstract class ParsingCodec<T>
extends TypeCodec<T>

An abstract TypeCodec that stores JAVA objects as serialized strings. This can serve as a base for codecs dealing with XML or JSON formats.

This codec can be seen as a convenience base class to help implementing Java-to-XML or Java-to-JSON mappings, but it comes with a performance penalty: each Java object is serialized in two steps: first to a String, and then to a ByteBuffer, which means that each serialization actually incurs in two potentially expensive operations being carried.

If you are using an XML or JSON library that supports writing Java objects directly to ByteBuffers, consider writing your own codec instead of using this one.

Method Detail

serialize

public ByteBuffer serialize(T value,
                            ProtocolVersion protocolVersion)
                     throws InvalidTypeException

Specified by:

serialize in class TypeCodec<T>

Throws:

InvalidTypeException

deserialize

public T deserialize(ByteBuffer bytes,
                     ProtocolVersion protocolVersion)
              throws InvalidTypeException

Specified by:

deserialize in class TypeCodec<T>

Throws:

InvalidTypeException

format

public String format(T value)
              throws InvalidTypeException

Specified by:

format in class TypeCodec<T>

Throws:

InvalidTypeException

parse

public T parse(String value)
        throws InvalidTypeException

Specified by:

parse in class TypeCodec<T>

Throws:

InvalidTypeException

toString

protected abstract String toString(T value)

Return the String representation of the given object; no special CQL quoting should be applied here. Null values should be accepted; in most cases, implementors should return null for null inputs.

Parameters:

value - the value to convert into a string

Returns:

the String representation of the given object

fromString

protected abstract T fromString(String value)

Parse the given string into an object; no special CQL unquoting should be applied here. Null values should be accepted; in most cases, implementors should return null for null inputs.

Parameters:

value - the string to parse

Returns:

the parsed object.
