Direct Known Subclasses:

DGapIntDecoder, EightFlagsIntDecoder, FourFlagsIntDecoder, SimpleIntDecoder, VInt8IntDecoder

public abstract class IntDecoder
extends java.lang.Object

Decodes integers from a set InputStream. For re-usability, the decoder's input stream can be set by (reInit(InputStream)). By design, Decoders are NOT thread-safe.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
