    • read

      public T read(ByteReader reader)
      Description copied from interface: Encoding
      Read a value from the given input.
      Parameters:
      reader - byte input
      Returns:
      field value (possibly null)
    • write

      public void write(ByteWriter writer, T value)
      Description copied from interface: Encoding
      Write a value to the given output.
      Parameters:
      writer - byte output
      value - value to write (possibly null)
    • skip

      public void skip(ByteReader reader)
      Description copied from interface: Encoding
      Read and discard a byte[] encoded value from the given input.
      Parameters:
      reader - byte input
    • hasPrefix0x00

      public boolean hasPrefix0x00()
      Description copied from interface: Encoding
      Determine whether any of this encoding's encoded values start with a 0x00 byte. Certain optimizations are possible when this is not the case. It is safe for this method to always return true.

      Note: changing the result of this method may result in an incompatible encoding if this encoding is wrapped in another class.

      The implementation in Encoding returns true.

      Returns:
      true if an encoded value starting with 0x00 exists
    • hasPrefix0xff

      public boolean hasPrefix0xff()
      Description copied from interface: Encoding
      Determine whether any of this encoding's encoded values start with a 0xff byte. Certain optimizations are possible when this is not the case. It is safe for this method to always return true.

      Note: changing the result of this method may result in an incompatible encoding if this encoding is wrapped in another class.

      The implementation in Encoding returns true.

      Returns:
      true if an encoded value starting with 0xff exists
