Enum Constant Detail

ENCOODE_CHAINS

public static final StringCodecs ENCOODE_CHAINS

Encode an array of Strings to a byte array. Each String should be less than five characters long.

Method Detail

values

public static StringCodecs[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (StringCodecs c : StringCodecs.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static StringCodecs valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getCodec

public static StringCodecs getCodec(int codecId)

Decode a byte array from an input array.

Parameters:

codecId - the int specifying the encoding strategy

Returns:

the decoded array as a String array

decodeArr

public static String[] decodeArr(byte[] inputData)

Decode a byte array from an input array.

Parameters:

inputData - the byte array of data

Returns:

the decoded array as a int array

getCodecName

public String getCodecName()

Specified by:

getCodecName in interface CodecInterface

Returns:

the codec name. A string naming the codec.

getCodecId

public int getCodecId()

Specified by:

getCodecId in interface CodecInterface

Returns:

the codec id. currently an integer defining the codec.
