BufferRecycler (Jackson-core 2.8.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util.BufferRecycler

```
public class BufferRecycler
extends Object
```
This is a small utility class, whose main functionality is to allow simple reuse of raw byte/char buffers. It is usually used through ThreadLocal member of the owning class pointing to instance of this class through a SoftReference. The end result is a low-overhead GC-cleanable recycling: hopefully ideal for use by stream readers.

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`protected byte[][]`	`_byteBuffers`
`protected char[][]`	`_charBuffers`
`static int`	`BYTE_BASE64_CODEC_BUFFER` Buffer used for concatenating binary data that is either being encoded as base64 output, or decoded from base64 input.
`static int`	`BYTE_READ_IO_BUFFER` Buffer used for reading byte-based input.
`static int`	`BYTE_WRITE_CONCAT_BUFFER` Buffer used for temporarily concatenating output; used for example when requesting output as byte array.
`static int`	`BYTE_WRITE_ENCODING_BUFFER` Buffer used for temporarily storing encoded content; used for example by UTF-8 encoding writer
`static int`	`CHAR_CONCAT_BUFFER`
`static int`	`CHAR_NAME_COPY_BUFFER`
`static int`	`CHAR_TEXT_BUFFER`
`static int`	`CHAR_TOKEN_BUFFER`

Constructor Summary

Constructors
Modifier	Constructor and Description
	`BufferRecycler()` Default constructor used for creating instances of this default implementation.
`protected`	`BufferRecycler(int bbCount, int cbCount)` Alternate constructor to be used by sub-classes, to allow customization of number of low-level buffers in use.
