  • Method Details

    • newDecoderState

      DecoderState newDecoderState()
      Creates a new DecoderState instance that can be used when interacting with the Decoder. For decoding that occurs on more than one thread while sharing a single Decoder instance a different state object per thread is required as the DecoderState object can retain some state information during the decode process that could be corrupted if more than one thread were to share a single instance. For single threaded decoding work the Decoder offers a utility cached DecoderState API that will return the same instance on each call which can reduce allocation overhead and make using the Decoder simpler.
      Returns:
      a newly constructed EncoderState instance.
    • getCachedDecoderState

      DecoderState getCachedDecoderState()
      Return a singleton DecoderState instance that is meant to be shared within single threaded decoder interactions. If more than one thread makes use of this cached DecoderState the results of any decoding done using this state object is not guaranteed to be correct. The returned instance will have its reset method called to ensure that any previously stored state data is cleared before the next use.
      Returns:
      a cached DecoderState linked to this Decoder instance that has been reset.
    • readBoolean
