Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
protected abstract void	_releaseBuffers() Method called to release any buffers generator may be holding, once generator is being closed.
protected abstract void	_verifyValueWrite(String typeMsg) Method called before trying to write a value (scalar or structured), to verify that this is legal in current output state, as well as to output separators if and as necessary.
void	close() Method called to close this generator, so that no more content can be written.
JsonGenerator	disable(JsonGenerator.Feature f) Method for disabling specified features (check JsonGenerator.Feature for list of features)
JsonGenerator	enable(JsonGenerator.Feature f) Method for enabling specified parser features: check JsonGenerator.Feature for list of available features.
abstract void	flush() Method called to flush any buffered content to the underlying target (output stream, writer), and to flush the target itself as well.
ObjectCodec	getCodec() Method for accessing the object used for writing Java object as Json content (using method JsonGenerator.writeObject(java.lang.Object)).
int	getFeatureMask() Bulk access method for getting state of all standard JsonGenerator.Features.
JsonWriteContext	getOutputContext() Note: co-variant return type.
boolean	isClosed() Method that can be called to determine whether this generator is closed or not.
boolean	isEnabled(JsonGenerator.Feature f) Method for checking whether given feature is enabled.
JsonGenerator	setCodec(ObjectCodec oc) Method that can be called to set or reset the object to use for writing Java objects as JsonContent (using method JsonGenerator.writeObject(java.lang.Object)).

int	writeBinary(Base64Variant b64variant, InputStream data, int dataLength) Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeBinary(Base64Variant,byte[],int,int), but where input is provided through a stream, allowing for incremental writes without holding the whole input in memory.
void	writeFieldName(SerializableString name) Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeFieldName(String), main difference being that it may perform better as some of processing (such as quoting of certain characters, or encoding into external encoding if supported by generator) can be done just once and reused for later calls.
void	writeObject(Object value) Method for writing given Java object (POJO) as Json.
void	writeRawValue(char[] text, int offset, int len)
void	writeRawValue(String text) Method that will force generator to copy input text verbatim without any modifications, but assuming it must constitute a single legal JSON value (number, string, boolean, null, Array or List).
void	writeRawValue(String text, int offset, int len)
void	writeString(SerializableString text) Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeString(String), but that takes SerializableString which can make this potentially more efficient to call as generator may be able to reuse quoted and/or encoded representation.
void	writeTree(TreeNode rootNode) Method for writing given JSON tree (expressed as a tree where given JsonNode is the root) using this generator.

writeFieldName

public void writeFieldName(SerializableString name)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeFieldName(String), main difference being that it may perform better as some of processing (such as quoting of certain characters, or encoding into external encoding if supported by generator) can be done just once and reused for later calls.

Default implementation simple uses unprocessed name container in serialized String; implementations are strongly encouraged to make use of more efficient methods argument object has.

Specified by:

writeFieldName in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

writeString

public void writeString(SerializableString text)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeString(String), but that takes SerializableString which can make this potentially more efficient to call as generator may be able to reuse quoted and/or encoded representation.

Default implementation just calls JsonGenerator.writeString(String); sub-classes should override it with more efficient implementation if possible.

Specified by:

writeString in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

writeRawValue

public void writeRawValue(String text)
                   throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method that will force generator to copy input text verbatim without any modifications, but assuming it must constitute a single legal JSON value (number, string, boolean, null, Array or List). Assuming this, proper separators are added if and as needed (comma or colon), and generator state updated to reflect this.

Specified by:

writeRawValue in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

writeRawValue

public void writeRawValue(String text,
                 int offset,
                 int len)
                   throws IOException

Specified by:

writeRawValue in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

writeRawValue

public void writeRawValue(char[] text,
                 int offset,
                 int len)
                   throws IOException

Specified by:

writeRawValue in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

writeBinary

public int writeBinary(Base64Variant b64variant,
              InputStream data,
              int dataLength)
                throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method similar to JsonGenerator.writeBinary(Base64Variant,byte[],int,int), but where input is provided through a stream, allowing for incremental writes without holding the whole input in memory.

Specified by:

writeBinary in class JsonGenerator

Parameters:

b64variant - Base64 variant to use

data - InputStream to use for reading binary data to write. Will not be closed after successful write operation

dataLength - (optional) number of bytes that will be available; or -1 to be indicate it is not known. If a positive length is given, data MUST provide at least that many bytes: if not, an exception will be thrown. Note that implementations need not support cases where length is not known in advance; this depends on underlying data format: JSON output does NOT require length, other formats may.

Returns:

Number of bytes read from data and written as binary payload

Throws:

IOException

writeObject

public void writeObject(Object value)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method for writing given Java object (POJO) as Json. Exactly how the object gets written depends on object in question (ad on codec, its configuration); for most beans it will result in Json object, but for others Json array, or String or numeric value (and for nulls, Json null literal. NOTE: generator must have its object codec set to non-null value; for generators created by a mapping factory this is the case, for others not.

Specified by:

writeObject in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

writeTree

public void writeTree(TreeNode rootNode)
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method for writing given JSON tree (expressed as a tree where given JsonNode is the root) using this generator. This will generally just call JsonGenerator.writeObject(java.lang.Object) with given node, but is added for convenience and to make code more explicit in cases where it deals specifically with trees.

Specified by:

writeTree in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

flush

public abstract void flush()
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method called to flush any buffered content to the underlying target (output stream, writer), and to flush the target itself as well.

Specified by:

flush in interface Flushable

Specified by:

flush in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method called to close this generator, so that no more content can be written.

Whether the underlying target (stream, writer) gets closed depends on whether this generator either manages the target (i.e. is the only one with access to the target -- case if caller passes a reference to the resource such as File, but not stream); or has feature JsonGenerator.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_TARGET enabled. If either of above is true, the target is also closed. Otherwise (not managing, feature not enabled), target is not closed.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in class JsonGenerator

Throws:

IOException

isClosed

public boolean isClosed()

Description copied from class: JsonGenerator

Method that can be called to determine whether this generator is closed or not. If it is closed, no more output can be done.

Specified by:

isClosed in class JsonGenerator

_releaseBuffers

protected abstract void _releaseBuffers()

Method called to release any buffers generator may be holding, once generator is being closed.

_verifyValueWrite

protected abstract void _verifyValueWrite(String typeMsg)
                                   throws IOException

Method called before trying to write a value (scalar or structured), to verify that this is legal in current output state, as well as to output separators if and as necessary.

Parameters:

typeMsg - Additional message used for generating exception message if value output is NOT legal in current generator output state.

Throws:

IOException
