public class ArrayOfStringsSerDe
extends ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Methods of serializing and deserializing arrays of String. This class serializes strings in UTF-8 format, which is more compact compared to ArrayOfUtf16StringsSerDe. In an extreme case when all strings are in ASCII, this method is 2 times more compact, but it takes more time to encode and decode by a factor of 1.5 to 2.

Method Detail

serializeToByteArray

public byte[] serializeToByteArray(String item)

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Serialize a single unserialized item to a byte array.

Specified by:

serializeToByteArray in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Parameters:

item - the item to be serialized

Returns:

serialized representation of the given item

serializeToByteArray

public byte[] serializeToByteArray(String[] items)

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Serialize an array of unserialized items to a byte array of contiguous serialized items.

Specified by:

serializeToByteArray in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Parameters:

items - array of items to be serialized

Returns:

contiguous, serialized representation of the given array of unserialized items

deserializeFromMemory

@Deprecated
public String[] deserializeFromMemory(org.apache.datasketches.memory.Memory mem,
                                      int numItems)

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Deserialize a contiguous sequence of serialized items from a given Memory.

Specified by:

deserializeFromMemory in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Parameters:

mem - Memory containing a contiguous sequence of serialized items

numItems - number of items in the contiguous serialized sequence.

Returns:

array of deserialized items

deserializeFromMemory

public String[] deserializeFromMemory(org.apache.datasketches.memory.Memory mem,
                                      long offsetBytes,
                                      int numItems)

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Deserialize a contiguous sequence of serialized items from a given Memory.

Specified by:

deserializeFromMemory in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Parameters:

mem - Memory containing a contiguous sequence of serialized items

offsetBytes - the starting offset in the given Memory.

numItems - number of items in the contiguous serialized sequence.

Returns:

array of deserialized items

sizeOf

public int sizeOf(String item)

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Returns the serialized size in bytes of a single unserialized item.

Specified by:

sizeOf in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Parameters:

item - a specific item

Returns:

the serialized size in bytes of a single unserialized item.

sizeOf

public int sizeOf(org.apache.datasketches.memory.Memory mem,
                  long offsetBytes,
                  int numItems)

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Returns the serialized size in bytes of the number of contiguous serialized items in Memory. The capacity of the given Memory can be much larger that the required size of the items.

Specified by:

sizeOf in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Parameters:

mem - the given Memory.

offsetBytes - the starting offset in the given Memory.

numItems - the number of serialized items contained in the Memory

Returns:

the serialized size in bytes of the given number of items.

toString

public String toString(String item)

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Returns a human readable string of an item.

Specified by:

toString in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Parameters:

item - a specific item

Returns:

a human readable string of an item.

getClassOfT

public Class<String> getClassOfT()

Description copied from class: ArrayOfItemsSerDe

Returns the concrete class of type T

Specified by:

getClassOfT in class ArrayOfItemsSerDe<String>

Returns:

the concrete class of type T
