Interface FSASerializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

CFSA2Serializer, FSA5Serializer

public interface FSASerializer

All FSA serializers (to binary formats) will implement this interface.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.util.Set<FSAFlags>	getFlags()
<T extends java.io.OutputStream> T	serialize(FSA fsa, T os) Serialize a finite state automaton to an output stream.
FSASerializer	withAnnotationSeparator(byte annotationSeparator) Sets the annotation separator (only if getFlags() returns FSAFlags.SEPARATORS).
FSASerializer	withFiller(byte filler) Sets the filler separator (only if getFlags() returns FSAFlags.SEPARATORS).
FSASerializer	withNumbers() Enables support for right language count on nodes, speeding up perfect hash counts (only if getFlags() returns FSAFlags.NUMBERS).

Method Detail

serialize

<T extends java.io.OutputStream> T serialize(FSA fsa,
                                             T os)
                                      throws java.io.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:

java.io.IOException - Rethrown if an I/O error occurs.

getFlags

java.util.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.
