Method Details

encodeCharacterValue

default byte[] encodeCharacterValue(Object value,
 MemBuffer buf,
 Settings settings)
                             throws DataTypeEncodeException

Utility for character data types to encode a value.

Parameters:

value - the character value to encode.

buf - a buffer representing the eventual destination of the bytes.

settings - the settings to use.

Returns:

the encoded value

Throws:

DataTypeEncodeException - if the value cannot be encoded

encodeCharacterRepresentation

default byte[] encodeCharacterRepresentation(String repr,
 MemBuffer buf,
 Settings settings)
                                      throws DataTypeEncodeException

Utility for character data types to encode a representation.

Parameters:

repr - the single-character string to encode.

buf - a buffer representing the eventual destination of the bytes.

settings - the settings to use.

Returns:

the encoded value

Throws:

DataTypeEncodeException - if the value cannot be encoded

getCharsetName

default String getCharsetName(Settings settings)

Get the character set for a specific data type and settings

Parameters:

settings - data instance settings

Returns:

Charset for this datatype and settings
