Field Detail

bb_pos

protected int bb_pos

Used to hold the position of the `bb` buffer.

bb

protected ByteBuffer bb

The underlying ByteBuffer to hold the data of the Table.

Constructor Detail

Table

public Table()

Method Detail

getByteBuffer

public ByteBuffer getByteBuffer()

Get the underlying ByteBuffer.

Returns:

Returns the Table's ByteBuffer.

__offset

protected int __offset(int vtable_offset)

Look up a field in the vtable.

Parameters:

vtable_offset - An `int` offset to the vtable in the Table's ByteBuffer.

Returns:

Returns an offset into the object, or `0` if the field is not present.

__indirect

protected int __indirect(int offset)

Retrieve a relative offset.

Parameters:

offset - An `int` index into the Table's ByteBuffer containing the relative offset.

Returns:

Returns the relative offset stored at `offset`.

__string

protected String __string(int offset)

Create a Java `String` from UTF-8 data stored inside the FlatBuffer. This allocates a new string and converts to wide chars upon each access, which is not very efficient. Instead, each FlatBuffer string also comes with an accessor based on __vector_as_bytebuffer below, which is much more efficient, assuming your Java program can handle UTF-8 data directly.

Parameters:

offset - An `int` index into the Table's ByteBuffer.

Returns:

Returns a `String` from the data stored inside the FlatBuffer at `offset`.

__vector_len

protected int __vector_len(int offset)

Get the length of a vector.

Parameters:

offset - An `int` index into the Table's ByteBuffer.

Returns:

Returns the length of the vector whose offset is stored at `offset`.

__vector

protected int __vector(int offset)

Get the start data of a vector.

Parameters:

offset - An `int` index into the Table's ByteBuffer.

Returns:

Returns the start of the vector data whose offset is stored at `offset`.

__vector_as_bytebuffer

protected ByteBuffer __vector_as_bytebuffer(int vector_offset,
                                            int elem_size)

Get a whole vector as a ByteBuffer. This is efficient, since it only allocates a new ByteBuffer object, but does not actually copy the data, it still refers to the same bytes as the original ByteBuffer. Also useful with nested FlatBuffers, etc.

Parameters:

vector_offset - The position of the vector in the byte buffer

elem_size - The size of each element in the array

Returns:

The ByteBuffer for the array

__union

protected Table __union(Table t,
                        int offset)

Initialize any Table-derived type to point to the union at the given `offset`.

Parameters:

t - A `Table`-derived type that should point to the union at `offset`.

offset - An `int` index into the Table's ByteBuffer.

Returns:

Returns the Table that points to the union at `offset`.

__has_identifier

protected static boolean __has_identifier(ByteBuffer bb,
                                          String ident)

Check if a ByteBuffer contains a file identifier.

Parameters:

bb - A ByteBuffer to check if it contains the identifier `ident`.

ident - A `String` identifier of the FlatBuffer file.

Returns:

True if the buffer contains the file identifier
