Class JsonStreamContext

java.lang.Object

org.codehaus.jackson.JsonStreamContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

JsonReadContext, JsonWriteContext

public abstract class JsonStreamContext
extends Object

Shared base class for streaming processing contexts used during reading and writing of Json content using Streaming API. This context is also exposed to applications: context object can be used by applications to get an idea of relative position of the parser/generator within json content being processed. This allows for some contextual processing: for example, output within Array context can differ from that of Object context.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getCurrentIndex()
abstract String	getCurrentName() Method for accessing name associated with the current location.
int	getEntryCount()
abstract JsonStreamContext	getParent() Accessor for finding parent context of this context; will return null for root context.
String	getTypeDesc() Method for accessing simple type description of current context; either ROOT (for root-level values), OBJECT (for field names and values of JSON Objects) or ARRAY (for values of JSON Arrays)
boolean	inArray() Method that returns true if this context is an Array context; that is, content is being read from or written to a Json Array.
boolean	inObject() Method that returns true if this context is an Object context; that is, content is being read from or written to a Json Object.
boolean	inRoot() Method that returns true if this context is a Root context; that is, content is being read from or written to without enclosing array or object structure.

Constant Field Values

_type

protected int _type

_index

protected int _index

Index of the currently processed entry. Starts with -1 to signal that no entries have been started, and gets advanced each time a new entry is started, either by encountering an expected separator, or with new values if no separators are expected (the case for root context).

Method Detail

getParent

public abstract JsonStreamContext getParent()

Accessor for finding parent context of this context; will return null for root context.

inArray

public final boolean inArray()

Method that returns true if this context is an Array context; that is, content is being read from or written to a Json Array.

inRoot

public final boolean inRoot()

Method that returns true if this context is a Root context; that is, content is being read from or written to without enclosing array or object structure.

inObject

public final boolean inObject()

Method that returns true if this context is an Object context; that is, content is being read from or written to a Json Object.

getTypeDesc

public final String getTypeDesc()

Method for accessing simple type description of current context; either ROOT (for root-level values), OBJECT (for field names and values of JSON Objects) or ARRAY (for values of JSON Arrays)

getEntryCount

public final int getEntryCount()

Returns:

Number of entries that are complete and started.

getCurrentIndex

public final int getCurrentIndex()

Returns:

Index of the currently processed entry, if any

getCurrentName

public abstract String getCurrentName()

Method for accessing name associated with the current location. Non-null for FIELD_NAME and value events that directly follow field names; null for root level and array values.
