Interface UnicodeWriter

All Known Implementing Classes:

UnicodeBuilder, UnicodeWriterToWriter, UTF8Writer

public interface UnicodeWriter

Interface that accepts strings in the form of UnicodeString objects, which are written to some destination. It also accepts ordinary String objects.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default void	close()	Complete the writing of characters to the result.
default void	flush()	Flush the contents of any buffers.
void	write(java.lang.String chars)	Process a supplied string
void	write(UnicodeString chars)	Process a supplied string
void	writeAscii(byte[] content)	Write a supplied string known to consist entirely of ASCII characters, supplied as a byte array.
default void	writeCodePoint(int codepoint)	Process a single character.
default void	writeRepeatedAscii(byte asciiChar, int count)	Process a single character repeatedly.

Method Detail

write

void write(UnicodeString chars)
    throws java.io.IOException

Process a supplied string

Parameters:

chars - the characters to be processed

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if processing fails for any reason

writeAscii

void writeAscii(byte[] content)
         throws java.io.IOException

Write a supplied string known to consist entirely of ASCII characters, supplied as a byte array. (The significance of this is that, for a variety of encodings including UTF-8 and Latin-1, the bytes can be written to the output stream "as is", because many encodings have ASCII as a subset.)

Parameters:

content - byte array holding ASCII characters only (the effect if the high-order bit is set is undefined)

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if processing fails for any reason

writeCodePoint

default void writeCodePoint(int codepoint)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Process a single character. The default implementation wraps the codepoint into a single-character UnicodeString

Parameters:

codepoint - the character to be processed. Must not be a surrogate

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if processing fails for any reason

writeRepeatedAscii

default void writeRepeatedAscii(byte asciiChar,
                                int count)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Process a single character repeatedly. The default implementation fills a byte array and calls writeAscii(byte[]).

Parameters:

asciiChar - the character to be processed.

count - the number of times the character is to be output

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if processing fails for any reason

write

void write(java.lang.String chars)
    throws java.io.IOException

Process a supplied string

Parameters:

chars - the characters to be processed

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if processing fails for any reason

close

default void close()
            throws java.io.IOException

Complete the writing of characters to the result. The default implementation does nothing.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if processing fails for any reason

flush

default void flush()
            throws java.io.IOException

Flush the contents of any buffers. The default implementation does nothing.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if processing fails for any reason
