Method Detail

serialize

public static int serialize(int value,
                            byte[] buffer,
                            int pos)

Write an integer into a buffer at a given position

Parameters:

value - The value to serialize

buffer - The buffer to store the value into

pos - The position where we serialize the integer

Returns:

The new position in the byte[]

serialize

public static int serialize(byte[] value,
                            byte[] buffer,
                            int pos)

Write a byte[] into a buffer at a given position

Parameters:

value - The value to serialize

buffer - The buffer to store the value into

pos - The position where we serialize the byte[]

Returns:

The new position in the byte[]

deserializeInt

public static int deserializeInt(byte[] buffer,
                                 int pos)

Read an integer from a buffer at a given position

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer containing the serialized integer

pos - The position from which we will read an integer

Returns:

the deserialized integer

deserializeBytes

public static byte[] deserializeBytes(byte[] buffer,
                                      int pos)

Read a byte[] from a buffer at a given position

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer containing the serialized byte[]

pos - The position from which we will read a byte[]

Returns:

the deserialized byte[]

deserializeBoolean

public static boolean deserializeBoolean(byte[] buffer,
                                         int pos)

Read a boolean from a buffer at a given position

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer containing the serialized boolean

pos - The position from which we will read a boolean

Returns:

the deserialized boolean
