Class JsonParserSequence

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, Versioned

public class JsonParserSequence extends JsonParserDelegate
Helper class that can be used to sequence multiple physical JsonParsers to create a single logical sequence of tokens, as a single JsonParser.

Fairly simple use of JsonParserDelegate: only need to override nextToken() to handle transition

  • Field Details

    • _parsers

      protected final JsonParser[] _parsers
      Parsers other than the first one (which is initially assigned as delegate)
    • _nextParser

      protected int _nextParser
      Index of the next parser in _parsers.
  • Constructor Details

    • JsonParserSequence

      protected JsonParserSequence(JsonParser[] parsers)
  • Method Details

    • createFlattened

      public static JsonParserSequence createFlattened(JsonParser first, JsonParser second)
      Method that will construct a parser (possibly a sequence) that contains all given sub-parsers. All parsers given are checked to see if they are sequences: and if so, they will be "flattened", that is, contained parsers are directly added in a new sequence instead of adding sequences within sequences. This is done to minimize delegation depth, ideally only having just a single level of delegation.
    • addFlattenedActiveParsers

      protected void addFlattenedActiveParsers(List<JsonParser> result)
    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Description copied from class: JsonParser
      Closes the parser so that no further iteration or data access can be made; will also close the underlying input source if parser either owns the input source, or feature JsonParser.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_SOURCE is enabled. Whether parser owns the input source depends on factory method that was used to construct instance (so check JsonFactory for details, but the general idea is that if caller passes in closable resource (such as InputStream or Reader) parser does NOT own the source; but if it passes a reference (such as File or URL and creates stream or reader it does own them.

      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Overrides:
      close in class JsonParserDelegate
      Throws:
      IOException
    • nextToken

      public JsonToken nextToken() throws IOException, JsonParseException
      Description copied from class: JsonParser
      Main iteration method, which will advance stream enough to determine type of the next token, if any. If none remaining (stream has no content other than possible white space before ending), null will be returned.
      Overrides:
      nextToken in class JsonParserDelegate
      Returns:
      Next token from the stream, if any found, or null to indicate end-of-input
      Throws:
      IOException
      JsonParseException
    • containedParsersCount

      public int containedParsersCount()
      Method that is most useful for debugging or testing; returns actual number of underlying parsers sequence was constructed with (nor just ones remaining active)
    • switchToNext

      protected boolean switchToNext()
      Method that will switch active parser from the current one to next parser in sequence, if there is another parser left, making this the new delegate. Old delegate is returned if switch succeeds.
      Returns:
      True if switch succeeded; false otherwise
