Interface Parser<MessageType> (3.19.4)

Abstract interface for parsing Protocol Messages.

The implementation should be stateless and thread-safe.

All methods may throw InvalidProtocolBufferException . In the event of invalid data, like an encoding error, the cause of the thrown exception will be null . However, if an I/O problem occurs, an exception is thrown with an java.io.IOException cause.

Like #parseFrom(InputStream) , but does not read until EOF. Instead, the size of message (encoded as a varint) is read first, then the message data. Use MessageLite#writeDelimitedTo(java.io.OutputStream) to write messages in this format.

Like #parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream) but supporting extensions.

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream) .

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite) .

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream) .

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite) .

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream) .

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite) .

Parses a message of MessageType from the input.

Note: The caller should call CodedInputStream#checkLastTagWas(int) after calling this to verify that the last tag seen was the appropriate end-group tag, or zero for EOF.

Like #parseFrom(CodedInputStream) , but also parses extensions. The extensions that you want to be able to parse must be registered in extensionRegistry . Extensions not in the registry will be treated as unknown fields.

Parse a message of MessageType from input . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream) . Note that this method always reads the entire input (unless it throws an exception). If you want it to stop earlier, you will need to wrap your input in some wrapper stream that limits reading. Or, use MessageLite#writeDelimitedTo(java.io.OutputStream) to write your message and #parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream) to read it.

Despite usually reading the entire input, this does not close the stream.

Parses a message of MessageType from input . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite) .

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream) .

Parses data as a message of MessageType . This is just a small wrapper around #parseFrom(CodedInputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite) .

Like #parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseDelimitedFrom(InputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(byte[]) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(byte[], ExtensionRegistryLite) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(byte[], int, int) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(ByteString, ExtensionRegistryLite) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(ByteString) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(ByteString, ExtensionRegistryLite) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(CodedInputStream) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(CodedInputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(InputStream) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.

Like #parseFrom(InputStream, ExtensionRegistryLite) , but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned.
