All Known Implementing Classes:
ByteArrayUtf8CharSequence

public interface Utf8CharSequence extends CharSequence, Comparable<Utf8CharSequence>, Cloneable
A byte[] backed String
  • Method Details

    • write

      int write(int start, byte[] buffer, int pos)
      Write the bytes into a buffer. The objective is to avoid the local bytes being exposed to other classes if the implementation is expected to be immutable. It writes as many bytes as possible into the buffer and then return how many bytes were written. It's the responsibility of the caller to call this method repeatedly and ensure that everything is completely written
      Parameters:
      start - position from which to start writing
      buffer - the buffer to which to write to
      pos - position to start writing
      Returns:
      no:of bytes written
    • size

      int size()
      The size of utf8 bytes
      Returns:
      the size
    • byteAt

      byte byteAt(int idx)
    • compareTo

      default int compareTo(Utf8CharSequence o)
      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface Comparable<Utf8CharSequence>
    • write

      default void write(OutputStream os) throws IOException
      Creates a byte[] and copy to it first before writing it out to the output
      Parameters:
      os - The sink
      Throws:
      IOException
