Method Detail

shortDebugString

@Deprecated
public static java.lang.String shortDebugString(MessageOrBuilder message)

Deprecated.

Use printer().emittingSingleLine(true).printToString(MessageOrBuilder)

Generates a human readable form of this message, useful for debugging and other purposes, with no newline characters. This is just a trivial wrapper around TextFormat.Printer.shortDebugString(MessageOrBuilder).

printUnknownFieldValue

public static void printUnknownFieldValue(int tag,
                                          java.lang.Object value,
                                          java.lang.Appendable output)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Outputs a textual representation of the value of an unknown field.

Parameters:

tag - the field's tag number

value - the value of the field

output - the output to which to append the formatted value

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the value is not appropriate for the given field descriptor

java.io.IOException - if there is an exception writing to the output

printer

public static TextFormat.Printer printer()

Printer instance which escapes non-ASCII characters.

debugFormatPrinter

public static TextFormat.Printer debugFormatPrinter()

Printer instance which escapes non-ASCII characters and prints in the debug format.

unsignedToString

public static java.lang.String unsignedToString(int value)

Convert an unsigned 32-bit integer to a string.

unsignedToString

public static java.lang.String unsignedToString(long value)

Convert an unsigned 64-bit integer to a string.

getParser

public static TextFormat.Parser getParser()

Return a TextFormat.Parser instance which can parse text-format messages. The returned instance is thread-safe.

merge

public static void merge(java.lang.Readable input,
                         Message.Builder builder)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Parse a text-format message from input and merge the contents into builder.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

merge

public static void merge(java.lang.CharSequence input,
                         Message.Builder builder)
                  throws TextFormat.ParseException

Parse a text-format message from input and merge the contents into builder.

Throws:

TextFormat.ParseException

parse

public static <T extends Message> T parse(java.lang.CharSequence input,
                                          java.lang.Class<T> protoClass)
                                   throws TextFormat.ParseException

Throws:

TextFormat.ParseException

escapeBytes

public static java.lang.String escapeBytes(com.google.protobuf.ByteString input)

Escapes bytes in the format used in protocol buffer text format, which is the same as the format used for C string literals. All bytes that are not printable 7-bit ASCII characters are escaped, as well as backslash, single-quote, and double-quote characters. Characters for which no defined short-hand escape sequence is defined will be escaped using 3-digit octal sequences.

escapeBytes

public static java.lang.String escapeBytes(byte[] input)

Throws:

TextFormat.InvalidEscapeSequenceException

escapeDoubleQuotesAndBackslashes

public static java.lang.String escapeDoubleQuotesAndBackslashes(java.lang.String input)

Escape double quotes and backslashes in a String for emittingUnicode output of a message.
