Class CodedInputStream

java.lang.Object
com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream

public final class CodedInputStream extends Object
Reads and decodes protocol message fields. This class contains two kinds of methods: methods that read specific protocol message constructs and field types (e.g. readTag() and readInt32()) and methods that read low-level values (e.g. readRawVarint32() and readRawBytes(int)). If you are reading encoded protocol messages, you should use the former methods, but if you are reading some other format of your own design, use the latter.

  • Method Details

    • newInstance

      public static CodedInputStream newInstance(InputStream input)
      Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given InputStream.
    • newInstance

      public static CodedInputStream newInstance(byte[] buf)
      Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given byte array.
    • newInstance

      public static CodedInputStream newInstance(byte[] buf, int off, int len)
      Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given byte array slice.
    • newInstance

      public static CodedInputStream newInstance(ByteBuffer buf)
      Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given ByteBuffer. The data starting from the ByteBuffer's current position to its limit will be read. The returned CodedInputStream may or may not share the underlying data in the ByteBuffer, therefore the ByteBuffer cannot be changed while the CodedInputStream is in use. Note that the ByteBuffer's position won't be changed by this function. Concurrent calls with the same ByteBuffer object are safe if no other thread is trying to alter the ByteBuffer's status.
    • readTag

      public int readTag() throws IOException
      Attempt to read a field tag, returning zero if we have reached EOF. Protocol message parsers use this to read tags, since a protocol message may legally end wherever a tag occurs, and zero is not a valid tag number.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • checkLastTagWas

      public void checkLastTagWas(int value) throws InvalidProtocolBufferException
      Verifies that the last call to readTag() returned the given tag value. This is used to verify that a nested group ended with the correct end tag.
      Throws:
      InvalidProtocolBufferException - value does not match the last tag.
    • getLastTag

      public int getLastTag()
    • skipField

      public boolean skipField(int tag) throws IOException
      Reads and discards a single field, given its tag value.
      Returns:
      false if the tag is an endgroup tag, in which case nothing is skipped. Otherwise, returns true.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • skipField

      public boolean skipField(int tag, CodedOutputStream output) throws IOException
      Reads a single field and writes it to output in wire format, given its tag value.
      Returns:
      false if the tag is an endgroup tag, in which case nothing is skipped. Otherwise, returns true.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • skipMessage

      public void skipMessage() throws IOException
      Reads and discards an entire message. This will read either until EOF or until an endgroup tag, whichever comes first.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • skipMessage

      public void skipMessage(CodedOutputStream output) throws IOException
      Reads an entire message and writes it to output in wire format. This will read either until EOF or until an endgroup tag, whichever comes first.
      Throws:
      IOException

      @Deprecated public void readUnknownGroup(int fieldNumber, MessageLite.Builder builder) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      UnknownFieldSet.Builder now implements MessageLite.Builder, so you can just call readGroup(int, com.google.protobuf.MessageLite.Builder, com.google.protobuf.ExtensionRegistryLite).

      IOException

      public static int readRawVarint32(int firstByte, InputStream input) throws IOException

    • decodeZigZag32

      public static int decodeZigZag32(int n)
      Decode a ZigZag-encoded 32-bit value. ZigZag encodes signed integers into values that can be efficiently encoded with varint. (Otherwise, negative values must be sign-extended to 64 bits to be varint encoded, thus always taking 10 bytes on the wire.)
      Parameters:
      n - An unsigned 32-bit integer, stored in a signed int because Java has no explicit unsigned support.
      Returns:
      A signed 32-bit integer.
    • decodeZigZag64

      public static long decodeZigZag64(long n)
      Decode a ZigZag-encoded 64-bit value. ZigZag encodes signed integers into values that can be efficiently encoded with varint. (Otherwise, negative values must be sign-extended to 64 bits to be varint encoded, thus always taking 10 bytes on the wire.)
      Parameters:
      n - An unsigned 64-bit integer, stored in a signed int because Java has no explicit unsigned support.
      Returns:
      A signed 64-bit integer.
    • enableAliasing

      public void enableAliasing(boolean enabled)
    • setRecursionLimit

      public int setRecursionLimit(int limit)
      Set the maximum message recursion depth. In order to prevent malicious messages from causing stack overflows, CodedInputStream limits how deeply messages may be nested. The default limit is 64.
      Returns:
      the old limit.
    • setSizeLimit

      public int setSizeLimit(int limit)
      Set the maximum message size. In order to prevent malicious messages from exhausting memory or causing integer overflows, CodedInputStream limits how large a message may be. The default limit is 64MB. You should set this limit as small as you can without harming your app's functionality. Note that size limits only apply when reading from an InputStream, not when constructed around a raw byte array (nor with ByteString.newCodedInput()).

      If you want to read several messages from a single CodedInputStream, you could call resetSizeCounter() after each one to avoid hitting the size limit.

      Returns:
      the old limit.
    • resetSizeCounter

      public void resetSizeCounter()
      Resets the current size counter to zero (see setSizeLimit(int)).
    • pushLimit

      public int pushLimit(int byteLimit) throws InvalidProtocolBufferException
      Sets currentLimit to (current position) + byteLimit. This is called when descending into a length-delimited embedded message.

      Note that pushLimit() does NOT affect how many bytes the CodedInputStream reads from an underlying InputStream when refreshing its buffer. If you need to prevent reading past a certain point in the underlying InputStream (e.g. because you expect it to contain more data after the end of the message which you need to handle differently) then you must place a wrapper around your InputStream which limits the amount of data that can be read from it.

      Returns:
      the old limit.
      Throws:
      InvalidProtocolBufferException
    • popLimit

      public void popLimit(int oldLimit)
      Discards the current limit, returning to the previous limit.
      Parameters:
      oldLimit - The old limit, as returned by pushLimit.
    • getBytesUntilLimit

      public int getBytesUntilLimit()
      Returns the number of bytes to be read before the current limit. If no limit is set, returns -1.
    • isAtEnd

      public boolean isAtEnd() throws IOException
      Returns true if the stream has reached the end of the input. This is the case if either the end of the underlying input source has been reached or if the stream has reached a limit created using pushLimit(int).
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getTotalBytesRead

      public int getTotalBytesRead()
      The total bytes read up to the current position. Calling resetSizeCounter() resets this value to zero.
    • readRawByte

      public byte readRawByte() throws IOException
      Read one byte from the input.
      Throws:
      InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
      IOException
    • readRawBytes

      public byte[] readRawBytes(int size) throws IOException
      Read a fixed size of bytes from the input.
      Throws:
      InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
      IOException
    • skipRawBytes

      public void skipRawBytes(int size) throws IOException
      Reads and discards size bytes.
      Throws:
      InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
      IOException
