Interface AsyncInputFeeder

  • All Known Subinterfaces:
    AsyncByteArrayFeeder, AsyncByteBufferFeeder
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    AsyncByteArrayScanner, AsyncByteBufferScanner, AsyncByteScanner

    public interface AsyncInputFeeder
    Interface used by AsyncXMLStreamReader to get more input to parse. It is accessed by entity that feeds XML content to parse; at any given point only one chunk of content can be processed so caller has to take care to only feed more content when existing content has been parsed (which occurs when parser's nextToken is called). Once application using non-blocking parser has no more data to feed it should call endOfInput() to indicate end of logical input stream.

      void endOfInput()
      Method that should be called after last chunk of data to parse has been fed.

      • needMoreInput

        boolean needMoreInput()
        Method called to check whether it is ok to feed more data: parser returns true if it has no more content to parse (and it is ok to feed more); otherwise false (and no data should yet be fed).
      • endOfInput

        void endOfInput()
        Method that should be called after last chunk of data to parse has been fed. May be called regardless of what needMoreInput() returns. After calling this method, no more data can be fed; and parser assumes no more data will be available.
