    • canDecode

      public boolean canDecode(String s)
      Description copied from interface: FeatureCodec

      This function returns true iff the File potentialInput can be parsed by this codec. Note that checking the file's extension is a perfectly acceptable implementation of this method and file contents only rarely need to be checked.

      There is an assumption that there's never a situation where two different Codecs return true for the same file. If this occurs, the recommendation would be to error out.

      Note this function must never throw an error. All errors should be trapped and false returned.
      Parameters:
      s - the file to test for parsability with this codec
      Returns:
      true if potentialInput can be parsed, false otherwise
