- Method Detail
  - readDataType
```
byte readDataType()
```
    Read type of data
    
    Returns:
    
    Type of data as byte
  - getString
```
String getString()
```
    Read a string without the string type header.
    
    Returns:
    
    String
  - readNull
```
Object readNull()
```
    Read Null data type
    
    Returns:
    
    Null datatype (AS)
  - readBoolean
```
Boolean readBoolean()
```
    Read Boolean value
    
    Returns:
    
    Boolean
  - readNumber
```
Number readNumber()
```
    Read Number object
    
    Returns:
    
    Number
  - readString
```
String readString()
```
    Read String object
    
    Returns:
    
    String
  - readDate
```
Date readDate()
```
    Read date object
    
    Returns:
    
    Date
  - readArray
```
Object readArray(Type target)
```
    Read an array. This can result in a List or Map being deserialized depending on the array type found.
    
    Parameters:
    
    target - target type
    
    Returns:
    
    array
  - readMap
```
Object readMap()
```
    Read a map containing key - value pairs. This can result in a List or Map being deserialized depending on the map type found.
    
    Returns:
    
    Map
  - readObject
```
Object readObject()
```
    Read an object.
    
    Returns:
    
    object
  - readXML
```
Document readXML()
```
    Read XML document
    
    Returns:
    
    XML DOM document
  - readCustom
```
Object readCustom()
```
    Read custom object
    
    Returns:
    
    Custom object
  - readByteArray
```
ByteArray readByteArray()
```
    Read ByteArray object.
    
    Returns:
    
    ByteArray object
  - readReference
```
Object readReference()
```
    Read reference to Complex Data Type. Objects that are collaborators (properties) of other objects must be stored as references in map of id-reference pairs.
    
    Returns:
    
    object
  - clearReferences
```
void clearReferences()
```
    Clears all references
  - readKeyValues
```
Map<String,Object> readKeyValues()
```
    Read key - value pairs. This is required for the RecordSet deserializer.
    
    Returns:
    
    key-value pairs
  - readVectorInt
```
Vector<Integer> readVectorInt()
```
    Read Vector<int> object.
    
    Returns:
    
    Vector<Integer>
  - readVectorUInt
```
Vector<Long> readVectorUInt()
```
    Read Vector<uint> object.
    
    Returns:
    
    Vector<Long>
  - readVectorNumber
```
Vector<Double> readVectorNumber()
```
    Read Vector<Number> object.
    
    Returns:
    
    Vector<Double>

    Returns:
    
    Vector<Object>
  - reset
```
void reset()
```
    Resets internals.
