Interface FSASerializer

All Known Implementing Classes:
CFSA2Serializer, FSA5Serializer
public interface FSASerializer
All FSA serializers (to binary formats) will implement this interface.

  • Method Details

    • serialize

      <T extends OutputStream> T serialize(FSA fsa, T os) throws IOException
      Serialize a finite state automaton to an output stream.
      Type Parameters:
      T - A subclass of OutputStream, returned for chaining.
      Parameters:
      fsa - The automaton to serialize.
      os - The output stream to serialize to.
      Returns:
      Returns T for chaining.
      Throws:
      IOException - Rethrown if an I/O error occurs.

    • getFlags

      Set<FSAFlags> getFlags()
      Returns:
      Returns the set of flags supported by the serializer (and the output automaton).

    • withFiller

      FSASerializer withFiller(byte filler)
      Sets the filler separator (only if getFlags() returns FSAFlags.SEPARATORS).
      Parameters:
      filler - The filler separator byte.
      Returns:
      Returns this for call chaining.

    • withAnnotationSeparator

      FSASerializer withAnnotationSeparator(byte annotationSeparator)
      Sets the annotation separator (only if getFlags() returns FSAFlags.SEPARATORS).
      Parameters:
      annotationSeparator - The filler separator byte.
      Returns:
      Returns this for call chaining.

    • withNumbers

      FSASerializer withNumbers()
      Enables support for right language count on nodes, speeding up perfect hash counts (only if getFlags() returns FSAFlags.NUMBERS).
      Returns:
      Returns this for call chaining.
