BinaryParser (PostGIS Geometry 2.5.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.postgis.binary.BinaryParser

```
public class BinaryParser
extends Object
```
Parse binary representation of geometries. It should be easy to add char[] and CharSequence ByteGetter instances, although the latter one is not compatible with older jdks. I did not implement real unsigned 32-bit integers or emulate them with long, as both java Arrays and Strings currently can have only 2^31-1 elements (bytes), so we cannot even get or build Geometries with more than approx. 2^28 coordinates (8 bytes each).

```
public static ValueGetter valueGetterForEndian(ByteGetter bytes)
```
    Get the appropriate ValueGetter for my endianness
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - The appropriate Byte Getter
    
    Returns:
    
    the ValueGetter
  - parse
```
public Geometry parse(String value)
```
    Parse a hex encoded geometry Is synchronized to protect offset counter. (Unfortunately, Java does not have neither call by reference nor multiple return values.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - String containing the data to be parsed
    
    Returns:
    
    resulting geometry for the parsed data
  - parse
```
public Geometry parse(byte[] value)
```
    Parse a binary encoded geometry. Is synchronized to protect offset counter. (Unfortunately, Java does not have neither call by reference nor multiple return values.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - byte array containing the data to be parsed
    
    Returns:
    
    resulting geometry for the parsed data
  - parseGeometry
```
protected Geometry parseGeometry(ValueGetter data)
```
    Parse a geometry starting at offset.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - ValueGetter with the data to be parsed
    
    Returns:
    
    the parsed geometry
