@Deprecated public interface IonBinaryWriter extends IonWriter
An IonWriter that encodes Ion binary data.
  • Method Details

    • byteSize

      @Deprecated int byteSize()
      Deprecated.
      Gets the size in bytes of this binary data. This is generally needed before calling getBytes() or getBytes(byte[], int, int).
      Returns:
      the size in bytes.
    • getBytes

      @Deprecated byte[] getBytes() throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Copies the current contents of this writer as a new byte array holding Ion binary-encoded data. This allocates an array of the size needed to exactly hold the output and copies the entire value to it.
      Returns:
      the byte array with the writers output
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getBytes

      @Deprecated int getBytes(byte[] bytes, int offset, int maxlen) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Copies the current contents of the writer to a given byte array array. This starts writing to the array at offset and writes up to maxlen bytes. If this writer is not able to stop in the middle of its work this may overwrite the array and later throw and exception.
      Parameters:
      bytes - users byte array to write into
      offset - initial offset in the array to write into
      maxlen - maximum number of bytes to write
      Returns:
      number of bytes written
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeBytes

      @Deprecated int writeBytes(OutputStream userstream) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Writes the current contents of the writer to the output stream. This is only valid if the writer is not in the middle of writing a container.
      Parameters:
      userstream - OutputStream to write the bytes to
      Returns:
      int length of bytes written
      Throws:
      IOException
